Let's Dare to Share!!

It's Friday night, and you know what that means..

It is time to Dare to Share!

Happy Friday! This week was the first week that we started to have a regular routine. Last week we had a few snow days and then more snow over the weekend. That snow is finally starting to melt only to have the the blast of arctic temps starting later this weekend.. Brrr! I will be off of work on Monday for MLK day but we may be off on Tuesday depending on how cold it gets. I posted a picture of my dogs because it is very rare to sit together like this for a picture.

With all the snow we had last week, I shared my Snow Day party with fun activities to do and snacks to make with your kids when you are stuck inside.

Do you plan on watching the National Championship game on Monday? I am! If you have followed me for awhile you know I am a huge Buckeye fan. I set us this this football table while ago. I am thinking about setting another one up this year for the game but since we do not have ESPN we might have to go out to watch it. GO BUCKS!

I have a few new things I am working on that I hope to post soon. With Valentine's Day coming up and our annual work Candyland party, I have some new candy themed projects to watch for.

Now that you know what I have been up to, I would love to see what you have been up to. Link up and HAVE FUN!!

It's a Snow Day!

Are you in the part of the country that is affected by the large storm crossing the US today? I am. It started yesterday, and it has been snowing for the last 24 for hours. I am not sure of the total accumulation where I live, but I think it's around 10 inches or so. We were lucky enough that the ice/freezing rain portion of the storm went to the south of where we live. Almost all of the schools and daycares, and many businesses are closed today. It's possible that we will have another day off tomorrow as many of the roads are still covered with snow. The plows have come through, but the continued snowfall and blowing snow have covered them back up.

Some of you may have noticed that there was no Dare to Share party this past Friday. That was not intentional. Have you heard of the saying that the week between Christmas and New Years Day you lose track of time, and eat a lot of cheese. Well that kind of happened to me just in the few days after New Years. I spent New Year's Eve with my friends at the dance in Michigan. On New Year's Day we visited some family and friends, and then headed back to Ohio to watch the Rose Bowl. (Go Bucks!) In the days after New Years Day, we rested, babysat our grandbaby and lost track of time. It was easy to do since we were both off of work, and not in our usual routine. Early Sunday morning, D asked me if I had done my Friday night blog post. It was then that I realized that I TOTALLY FORGOT to post the party. Oops! The party will be back this upcoming Friday, as I will be spending this week getting back into my routine, and going back to work.

Now that you know where I have been lately, I thought I would share some of my favorite snow day activities in case you are having the same weather I am.
