I guess I should have taken the hint when all the Fargo schools were closed yesterday that there likely would not be preschool then. I had Dana's truck, and needed to pick up rolls for my co-worker's birthday celebration (priorities!), so Brynn and I ventured to the church first, only to find no cars in the parking lot and locked doors. So, we continued on, picked up the rolls and headed into my office. Brynn did some cutting and coloring projects, and made a birthday picture for my co-worker. The highlight for her was eating the rolls with us for the birthday celebration. I was able to get some things organized in the office before she started repeatedly asking me when we were going home. So, around 11:00 am we wrapped it up and headed back home where we changed into jammies and made the most of our snow day.
Auntie Tessa gave me an all-things-chocolate-chip-cookie-dough cookbook for Christmas and I hadn't yet made anything from it. Brynn spotted the photo of the heart-shaped cookie dough mound and wanted to make that. So, we did. It was pretty delicious. They were egg-free, so we took advantage of that and ate it raw.
About that time Dad came home and it was a good thing our cookies were no-bake because when I did turn the oven on for supper, this is what happened. Forty dollars for a new element and today we're back in business. As you can imagine, this whole ordeal did not go unnoticed by Brynn, though.
Tonight after supper Brynn was adamant that she wanted to play outside. Dana and I thought it was too cold, so we offered she could just go out on the deck. She never lasts more than 5 minutes out there anyway it seems. Of course her snow boots usually stay at preschool during the week, so we had to improvise with my boots. :-)
Emily and Brynn. Emily happens to live very near us and goes to our church. She baby-sat Brynn at their house on Friday night while Dana and I went out to eat. They had so much fun together...well, I know Brynn did and Emily's mom told me she did too. ;-)
