Friday Favourites

The kids had a snow day yesterday and I decided to work from home as well, also Dave was trying to get back from Vegas and dealing with cancelled and delayed flights. This is kind of a "Day in the Life - Snow Day Edition".

I was up at 5:45, as I had planned, to do my workout. I scheduled an upper body workout which may have not been the best idea since there would be lots of shovelling later on, but I stuck to my plan. 

While doing my workout I got the message that school was cancelled and saw that the snow would be continuing most of the day.  I went up to turn the boys' alarms off and left these notes for them so they would know the good news when they got up. 

I did go out and did a bit of shovelling. Some would wait until the snow stopped by this is why I didn't wait: 1) I knew it would still be light and fluffy, 2) I wanted to clear the sidewalk, and 3) I knew I'd have to move the snow anyway so I might as get a headstart. 

I worked for about 45 minutes and got the sidewalk cleared and the front of the driveway.  

Then I took a mini-snow day break and read my book under the heated blanket for a little bit before I needed to get to work.  I’m really glad I took these few minutes when I had the chance since the rest of my day was pretty busy.

I had back to back meetings all morning but the kids went out and did some shoveling on their own.  After lunch I went back out.  E was going to a friend’s house but I made him help me for a few minutes before he left.

Q came out for a few minutes too before I went back in. There really was so much snow and we couldn’t do it all at once, plus it was still snowing!

I finished up my work and then went back out.  The plough had gone by so I had to do the end of the driveway and then I cleared the car and did a bit of tidying up.  There was one part between the cars that I just could not do. But we can do it tomorrow.

I had put together a lasagna and it was ready when I got back inside.

Dave eventually connected through Vancouver and got on a flight to Toronto off the stand-by list. 

Hope you have a great weekend, we are expecting more snow, which is great for skiing, not for shoveling.
