Today is the first day of our "Spring Vacation" in Plymouth, WI.

We started our Spring Vacation in Plymouth, WI on Sat.evening arriving ahead of what is now a big snow event, a.k.a 6-12" fresh snow with 20 mph winds.



We were out learning the calf and cat chores around 8:30 a.m. on Sunday and it started snowing and it didn't stop snowing until dark. The snow came from the East and just blew around the house. Kent decided to plow the driveway around 9 p.m. just to make sure that he could get out if needed, he was also on call ( he didn't have to go out last night tho).



Dale and I slept in the "Mother In Law's suite" last night (which is above their garage across the driveway) and upon arrival found a small snow drift in the room under the air conditioner, Dale soon fixed that problem. We hadn't turned up the heat ahead of time so it was a bit cold for a while. Dale said his nose was as cold as it had been when he and Arvid went to New Mexico elk hunting in Arivd's summer tent :o)



Kelly and Kent leave tonight after the children have gone to bed. They will drive to Chicago and stay over and be at the airport very early tomorrow a.m. for the big trip to the Turks and Caicos Islands. They will be home on Sunday, 2/27.



I have a long list of what/where and when for the children, Ella goes to school every day and has to be at the bus stop, end of the driveway by 6:45 a.m. She gets back home @ 3:00 p.m. We will only have to get Adam to school on Wed. Feed them, homework, bedtime and tubbies, shouldn't be too hard !



Now the naughty list begins. For those of you who don't know about my Naughty List it includes things like: ice cream and M&M's on their waffles and pancakes for breakfast. Sometimes we eat in front of the TV, once in a while the children can watch 3 shows on TV and/or let their eyes go square from watching too much TV. This also includes a couple of games on the computer or Ella's DS. This doesn't hapen daily but you should see what we write down. Maybe will post another note after the list is made.



Today school was closed due to the weather. Roads are open and not too bad but that's o.k. The children and I are planning a dinner tonight so we can send Kelly and Kent off on their adventure. More later.
