Another crazy week

I am kind of at a loss as to where to begin. We have had so much going on that this may be a long post. First off, today. We woke up to some lovely snow. I double and triple checked the weather before we left the house. I hesitantly drove Ashley to school thinking I hope she can get home. Seeing some of the moms in our ward picking up their children didn't help. I watched out the window as the snow kept falling and the wind kept blowing. The time came and school was out, whew I felt better. Then I got the call. They weren't sure if the bus would make it out but they were going to put a plow in front of it and try. Well, biting my nails with the snowmobile running I waited and waited. She made it home about ten minutes late but she made it. Now I don't think I even would have taken her today if she hadn't missed yesterday. I guess that brings me to the low point of our week. Wednesday the girls have gymnastics. Wednesday Ashley woke me up and said her stomach hurt but she thought she was just hungry. So, we ate and she said she felt better. We proceeded to get ready to go and take all our snow clothes with us. See wed. was Cynthia's birthday party (Ashley's best friend). We were heading over right after gym. Kaitlyn did gym and got a private lesson since none of the other kids showed up. Then it was Ashley's turn. I dropped her off and headed for the store. I got the call ten minutes later, Ashley had gotten sick. So began our next 24 hours. No birthday party or school just buckets and movies. Ashley started then I started at about 430 am. I will honestly say my stomach has never hurt so bad. Thankfully, I have this wonderful husband that stayed home and worked while watching three active little girls. I slept. I emerged in the afternoon to my house. Did a tornado hit while I slept? Everyone was still alive, fed, and still in their pjs, but I got to sleep! By bedtime the mess was cleaned up (thanks to Kyle) and I was feeling better. Who could ask for anything better than a wonderful husband who will take care of things when you are at your worst, or feel like it anyway. While I am bringing up Kyle I should mention that he is officially on the search and rescue. He is very excited. I am very jealous. I really want to do the volunteer EMT but until we are done having children and they are older I will wait.
In the mist of all the craziness I did manage to finish a project of mine. I have been working on this matte for awhile. I finally finished it Saturday and filled it with picts on Sunday (during the superbowl), now I just need to hang it. Eventually, Ky will be making some custom frames.
Here is the project Kyle decided to tackle since he had to come home early today. We have absolutely no heat in our bathroom whatsoever. So, Kyle is installing this wall heater to help. Our wood stove is wonderful and does a great job. However, when it gets really cold at night our bathroom is the coldest place in the house. I am so glad he knows how to do this stuff.

And yes the mess!

What a crazy week. And somewhere in there we watched the super bowl and had our football feast. What a great game. I am hoping that the wind will stop and we can enjoy all our new snow tomorrow.
