Day 8/365 - January 8

So, today ended up being a "weather day" = no school for....

ice? nope
sleet? nope
snow? nope
really cold weather? yep

Seriously! They were expecting lots of rain last night which would have frozen overnight and resulted in frozen, icy, messy roads which is not a good thing in the south! What did we actually get? A fair amount of rain that left a few random icy patches and that's it.



Don't get me wrong, Avery was super happy to have a day out of school. Check back with me when she has to make that day up though :)

OK, back to your regularly scheduled program. While we didn't get any yucky weather, it is SUPER cold here and didn't get above freezing today and isn't expected to for several more days. That may not sound like a big deal to many, but it's not unusual to have 70 degree days on occassion in January. This is crazy cold for us!!

Avery's friend Sydney came over to spend the night so we decided to stop by Redbox and rent some movies. We ((heart)) Redbox and are lucky enough to have several of them near us in town. You can't beat renting a movie for $1 plus tax! You can check out the available titles online and even reserve your movie in advance AND they have new releases. Wow, what a deal!



Avery rented Night at the Museum: Battle of the Smithsonian and we rented State of Play. Sydney decided she didn't want to watch their movie so I told Avery we would all pile up in our big bed tomorrow after Syd leaves and watch it together as a family. That seemed to make her happy. Anyone that knows Wes will not be surprised to know that he fell asleep before we even watched our movie :) Now I've got two movies to watch tomorrow!

My kids would be so mad. We had 4" of snow, they didn't get the roads plowed and they still had to drive to school. On top of that it was really cold and they have to walk between building from one class to the next.
