The kids have off of school for Veteran’s Day and woke up to SNOW this morning! Just a little dusting, but it certainly is exciting when it’s the first of the season.

Cassidy picked out her Santa dress to wear!

Andy built us a fire before he left for work. I can build them, but it takes me three times as long ;-)

This is real life with a wood burning stove. Shop vac for the dust, fan to push the heat to the other end of the house and fire extinguisher just in case. The rubbermaid bins full of newspaper, kindling and extra firewood. And the hardie board up against the tile because we think the stove was installed a liiiiiittle too close to the walls. Not exactly Better Homes and Gardens worthy, but still cozy!

The kids were so excited to get outside to play. It was cold and windy though (20 degrees but felt like 4) so we didn’t stay out for too long. I was so happy to have found their snowpants!

I however can’t find my winter boots, so I wore Andy’s hunting boots!
