What follows is the post that was supposed to go out last night… but wordpress was being weird and it didn’t post.
Today my coffee lovers was full of coffee, music, laughter, cleaning, baking and snow. Lots and lots of snow. 16ish inches. Yeah, lots of snow.
First on the agenda was making pancakes. Crazy tasty pancakes. Ashlynn also had a brilliant idea of crunching up a strawberry poptart into the pancake batter. We did that as our last pancake. It wasn’t pretty but it was tasty. We all had a piece of it.
I look over as I’m cleaning the kitchen for what seemed like the millionth time and this is was happening: Ashlynn had been getting the cat comfy on the chair who was watching the snow. Ashlynn not wanting to disturb the cat because that’s a philosophy in our house (not really, more a saying) wanted to watch the snow but be near the cat herself. So I watched her slide herself under the chair and try to get comfy. I’ve raised a silly, goofy child.
All the snow. These were taken this morning before it was done snowing.
Ashlynn helped make the apple pie. This year I scaled down the pie-making. Apple and Pumpkin. What I didn’t take a picture of was the kitchen after I splattered pumpkin all over the kitchen after dropping the bowl into the pie crust as I was filling it. Comical, yes… to the husband at least. I feel like my baking abilities have been slightly off recently. Just slightly browned crust. Oh well.
Relaxing after cleaning the downstairs bathroom, living-room, kitchen and baking and a shower. Ashlynn also did some homework and cleaned her room too and Scott worked from home today and then spent almost 2 hours shoveling all the snow.
Next up… watching Santa Clause because we’re only a couple days away from the start of Christmas season and it looks like it outside and the kiddo is going to give me a pedicure.
All in all a very fun and productive snow day.
Hope all your coffees were warmth and happiness in a cup. Happy last cup of coffee my coffee lovers.
