Snowed In

We were snowed in (and I didn't have internet, remember?).

Day 1 - Trying to keep up with the shoveling.  Kids and Husband in the snow... Napmom... um...  documenting it all from the comfort of our warm home. 



Day 1 (evening)

Kids are forced to play with each other... or die of boredom.  AKA "Here Bro, you can play with this one item right here..."



Dear Husband takes the Polar Bear Plunge...



... and then realizes that snow is c-o-l-d.



Day 2

Neighbor comes to rescue us Dear Husband from shoveling the driveway.



Lulu plays in her fort (the scraper in her hand is her weapon).



Bro gets pulled along the road in this sled that we have owned for like 6 years but used maybe twice.



Fairy Grandmother brought over these no-bake cookies.  They were delicious.  As soon as I saw them I was reminded of a cookie that my Grandma made when I was younger.  Grand Matriarch - do you remember the cookie... do you have the recipe???



Have you ever taken a Polar Bear Plunge?

I see the dog looking out the door.. NOT going out there! Even the dog has better sense... I bet the neighbors loved the show...

I guess I sorta did it.. In Illinois, winter, snow everywhere, indoor pool with heater not working.. Several of us idiots were heating up in the sauna and then diving in the pool to scoop up pennies off the bottom of the pool.. then back into the sauna. Lucky we didn't have heart attacks! That was a really dumb trick..

I think the cookies you mentioned are the ones that are called "haystacks".. They are made with chow mein noodles, marshmellows, butterscotch morsels and I don't remember what else or where the recipe is!
Sorry...

I am starting to think that the "cookies" that I am referring to were little bourbon balls... perhaps.

I made LOTS of rum balls...
