It snowed all day Friday and it has snowed all day today. This is what we woke up to this morning. A winter wonderland. Can you believe I had my windows open enjoying the lovely weather on Thursday? Aubrey and Addy spent most of the day today outside playing in the freezing cold. Like I'm not even kidding. Most of the day. I love the snow as long as I don't have to go outside. It love the quiet peaceful sound of a field of snow. I love looking out my windows while I am snuggled under a blanket. The last two days have called for a lot of snuggling and a lot of hot chocolate drinking and a lot of Christmas music listening. It has been wonderful!
I decided that it was a chowdery kind of day. Which is kinda weird because I usually never eat chowder and I have never made chowder. And I don't know the first thing about making such a thing. But when the day calls for it, what can you do. So I started throwing things in the pot. I started with some melted butter, added milk, cut up some leftover baked potatoes, diced some leftover ham, threw in a bag of frozen corn and tossed in some dehydrated onions. I wasn't sure how the whole thing would turn out. Best dang soup I have ever made. I'm so not kidding, and I have made some good soup in my lifetime.
After dinner we declared it family movie night. We got all snuggly under blankets and turned on netflix. I had added some movies to the queue that I thought would make good family movie night movies. However no one was interested in them and I was defeated by Thor. 5 to 1. I was so excited since the last family movie night movie was The Avengers and I was asleep by the 20 minute mark. That is probably about as long as I lasted in Thor. I couldn't believe it when I woke up at the end of the movie and thought it was 10:30/11:00. But Emily informed us that it was only 8:15.
It has been a delightful snowy snuggly Saturday.
