"Insta"-replay #27, a long weekend

Last week was more of just a really long weekend than an actual week.
We. Had a visit from our far away cousins.  Always great to see them!
Charry unfortunately didn't get to see them.  She was in quarantine because she hadn't been feeling too well.
Then we had a quick bit of snow.  Where we live even an inch sticking is rare so there is a lot of excitement when flakes start to fall.
Despite the guests and excitement we managed a bit if school.  I'm trying to let the girls use the computer once a day for typing practice.
Thursday night the snow really came!  The next morning we went out to measure snow fall and look at animal tracks.  
Not only did the girls get a long weekend but so did their father.  Since snow is such a rarity we were a bit unprepared, no chains, oops.
We made the most of being house bound.  Board games were played.
Skeletons were put together.
Birds were fed.
We were happy when roads were clear enough for a trip to town to buy anything!  Mostly we just wanted out of the house after 4 days. (Like I said snow is a rarity so we tend to be a bit over dramatic when it comes.)

All in all it was a good week.  We were glad to have power throughout the storm and are glad warmer weather is on the way!
