It has been record breaking cold here. I know we are not the coldest or worst off in the weather department (like Boston-- eek!), but this has been out of hand.
Saturday Ryan took over with Hannah and I was to spend the morning under the covers with a good book. I finished this one:
Ryan surprised me by arranging for us to leave the kids with my parents Saturday night and go out on a date. We haven't been out without Hannah in almost a year and it was almost eerie to be in the car together and not have her with us. We went out to eat and when we came out of Panera it was snowing like crazy. I was worried and thought we should just forget about the movie but Ryan was pretty determined that we were going to the theater. When we came out of the movie the snow had stopped but the wind was howling and whipping our minivan all of the place on the back country roads of Leola.
We slept over at my parents house and had planned to go to church with them, but due to the extreme temperatures church was cancelled. We still felt like getting out of the house, so we took the kids to Chocolate World in Hershey. We decided to spring for their "design your own chocolate bar" experience.
It involved a LOT of waiting in line and hairnets for all, including Hannah. But you got to custom make your own bar and follow it through the little minifactory, design the packaging, the whole 9 yards.
Then we had cake and icecream with my parents to celebrate Isaac's upcoming 10th birthday. How I am the mom of 10 year old!?
