The Sump Family: Another week with no normal!

Last week was anything but normal. (if there is such a thing in our house) The kids and I still had Monday off. But Tuesday it was back to work and school. That is until 6:50am when the call came in saying that due to the difficulty keeping the buses running they were going to delay school 2 hours. I already had 3 of the 4 up and ready. Poor little Emma doesn't get to go to school when they have a late start. They all went to school as normal on Wednesday but Thursday and Friday were snow days. We have had 5 to be exact. They build 3 into our calendar so now we have 2 days to make up....so far!

We got an additional 7 inches with this one and the temps were way too cold. -18 on Saturday morning. Now the kids loved that we had snow days. I would just like a little structure back. 8 kids in the house isn't all it's cracked up to be. So far this week looks to be more like I am accustomed to.

Abbey spent most of last week reading, playing the Wii with Carson, painting her fingernails, and did some babysitting.

Jordan played basketball Tuesday...they won! He checked out his new classes this last semester of high school. Seems to think that it is going to go pretty smoothly. He is taking a digital photography class that he is excited about. Am hoping he can give me a couple of pointers. Friday's game was postponed. Saturday they were handed their first loss of the season by the 2nd ranked team in 3A.

Carson and Emma were just excited to enjoy a few more days of playing with their new toys. They both claimed that I was being unreasonable by not letting them go out to play in the extreme wind chills. I explained to them that it is my goal in life to be the meanest mom possible.

Dana and I spent Friday evening helping Julie at her photo studio open house. That's right...Julie of LandryAnna Designs has opened a studio right here in town. We are so happy for her. The place is really cool inside and she has such great ideas! I just know that she is going to do well. So we enjoyed seeing friends and drinking some wine.

Well it hasn't been exciting but at least it is an update. (kinda patting myself on the back since I have been so bad about keeping it up!) Enjoy some pictures that I took on a cold Saturday morning!
