Slow

It's another slow, quiet morning at the Stannix's. The kids are enjoying another snow day. The sun is out, but it's still -31. I'm just happy I don't have to pack school lunches and push the kids out the door in the early morning. We are quite enjoying our slow starts and late breakfasts around here. We found out about the bus being cancelled yesterday, so we all stayed in bed just a little longer this morning. Ollie was back and forth from about 5:00am on. I'm still terrified every time he falls asleep and check on him often during naps and in the middle of the night. I got the best snuggles and open mouth grins from Sawyer at 4:00am. Once he finally decided to fall back to sleep I snuggled him under a warm crochet blanket. After living on limited sleep and wearing the same clothes for like three days I am feeling pretty scrubby today.

I made up a batch of syrup first thing this morning. Once it had boiled long enough I pulled it off the burner and added a splash of vanilla. The house smelled divine!  After it had cooled I flipped pancakes and the littles ate every last one. It's almost time to start doubling the batch to fill the boys and their hollow legs. 

I kicked the kids outside mid afternoon to soak up some sun. It was almost warm enough for t-shirts (almost). They had fun on the sledding hill inventing games and hitting the jump at the bottom. These three days off have been a welcomed break and after Monday's events I am grateful to have my littles close.
