All of the buses in our school division were cancelled today due to the extreme cold. With the Arctic air rolling through Alberta we are getting wind chills between -40 and -50! My Dad pulled out all of the extension cords yesterday afternoon and kindly plugged the vehicles in so that they would start today.
I for one am happy to have my littles home with me for the day. Sometimes we all need a break in routine to catch our breath and make it through. And when the windows all have an inch of ice on them, I'd just rather stay home!
The acts of kindness are in full force around here and love is in the air! Bed making seems to be the most preferred service, but I am sure they will branch out soon.
Despite the bitter cold, the sun made an appearance this afternoon just in time to warm Sawyer while he napped. I am always amazed at the warmth and power that the sun has! As I stood their admiring his cheeks and wrinkled fingers I couldn't help but want like five more of him.
After lots of googling, I finally came across an easy artisan sour dough bread recipe and decided to give it a go. I mixed up the dough last night before bed and put it in the oven mid-afternoon. It turned out much better than my last failed attempt and I was pretty pleased! Shortly after pulling it out of the oven I got a text from the kids bus drivers notifying me that the buses are cancelled for tomorrow too. While a part of me is relieved, I can't help but wonder what on earth we will do tomorrow to keep ourselves occupied while we are stuck inside.
