Cold, Fat Tuesday


The day started out chilly, to say the least. Painfully cold and windy. 25 mph sustained winds and they contained over 60 mph gusts.  In my not-so-expert opinion, it was more like 40 for sustained and 75 for the gusts. Sleeping was elusive as the house sounded like it was going to come down. And opening the door was immediately regretted. 
Selah took advantage of the weather and  made a headband. 

Then we threw some dough in some oil. 

Once they were done, we filled them with cream. 

Paczki. It's what's for Fat Tuesday. 

The closest place I could find selling them was almost a 2 hour drive. So we made our own.  The ones in the back are GF. Those need serious work.  But Micah was thrilled to have some anyway, and there rest came out pretty well. 

The forecast said wind and less than an inch of snow.  Well most areas had none...but others looked like this. Needless to say we missed soccer because we had to shovel to get out.

We were all almost in tears getting to the car after taekwondo send CAP. Now we know why. We weren't dressed for those temps, I assure you.
