house on the hill ll snow day!

Yesterday God blessed our part of Arkansas with 4 inches ( really? ) of SNOW! You should see how the locals react to this cold white substance... every few minutes the local news station is issuing a Winter Advisory and school is cancelled, not to mention the Air Force Base shut down... so needless to say, we had today to enjoy the snow and quality family time. We even ventured out *gasp* to Walmart and the post office. I guess I should not laugh... it was not too many years ago that I would have reacted the same exact way, being a Texan and all, but after living in Alaska and Idaho and having my fair share of snow, this really was not all that bad.
So what did we do? Well Kensey and Tom of course played in the stuff ( I am not one for rolling around in freezing temperatures unless I am sledding down a huge hill ) and then we had some yummy Chicken Noodle soup ( one day at a time my Vegan readers ) and then snuggled up to a cup of steamy Starbucks Cocoa, thanks to a wonderful Christmas present from our dear friends, The Delaney's.
K and I worked on some craft projects and caught up on Sonny with a Chance and Wizards of Waverly Place. Tom and I cleaned the whole house and then we all jumped in the car to fight the icy traffic ( seriously there was hardly anyone on the roads ) to go to the Post Office and Walmart ( ahhh good ol' Wally World I can always count on you! ). We then came home to the smell of my Swedish Meatballs in the crockpot ( COME ON! We are on week 2 of my Vegan adventure what do you expect? ) and we, K and I, enjoyed leftover Peach and Blueberry Cobbler, Vegan style thanks to The Kind Diet recipe ( see... a little Vegan in each part of my day! ).

*disclaimer - the ice cream... totally soy*

Our kitty cat loves to look out at the snow by the way. Those of you with cats know that silly cackling sound they make when they see a bird? Well she was making that sound to the snow?! Funny Kitty Cat!

Well looks like another snow day tomorrow ( Tom has to go in but not until 9am ) so I think I will make us all pancakes for breakfast and then K and I are going to work on Savvy's birthday presents!
