Not Very Ice

So today was pretty much another let-down in the snow and ice department.  Although we probably could do very well without the ice part, aside from it's beauty.  It is rather a pain to drive on, as evidenced by all the numerous accidents just north of us.  Really, just north of us there were all sorts of problems which were reason enough to stay home.  But here in Forsyth, there wasn't that much to worry about.  Still, the schools didn't want to leave it to chance, so Madison had the day off.  It was very cold outside:  the temperature was reading 26 degrees, but it felt a lot colder with the wind.  There were a few icicles on cars and mailboxes, but that was about it.

Daddy still had to go in to work for a bit.  He did some more work on the devotional, and then went in for some more fun.  Lots of fun, actually.

Here's a screenshot of a video we shot today, part of a dance routine where we are singing "I Survived."  It's actually pretty funny, and hopefully I'll have it here soon on the blog.  What we survived was the fast, which will be the case by the time we show this video.  It features us cramming all kinds of nasty food into our mouths, and is pretty gross, actually.  But the kids will love it, and everyone involved had a great time with the musical part, at least.

Madison's day was rather uneventful, of course.  It's not like she could go out and play.  Strangely, just a few weeks earlier, she actually could have - the temperature was pretty warm outside.  Very strange weather we're having to say the least.

Tonight everyone went to bed early.  Daddy drove around safely, getting home in time for dinner, piano practice, some homework and a movie.  Everyone snuggled under the covers, and then it was time to go upstairs and listen to some more from the latest fairy adventure.  We're almost at the end:  this wand is causing all kinds of problems!
