Iced In? - Not Us!

Another day at home in the snow and ice . . . and we're going stir crazy!!! I'm loving the time off work to hang out with Linc, but we may be going bonkers looking at the same stuff over and over! This morning we had a little excitement when Daddy discovered that one of the pipes was frozen. We called Bubbles for some tips, turned the faucet on (in hopes water would eventually come out!), plugged in a little space heater and cleaned out the cabinet. Lincoln was very interested in the cleaning out the cabinet part. I decided if I have shampoo/lotion/samples/makeup that I haven't used since we moved here (2 years ago) still under the sink, they're going in the trash! Luckily the water came rushing out after a couple of hours. Whew, we got lucky! Tonight, we'll leave it running a little. Other than that excitement we've read all of our books numerous times, and trust me that took a while because we have hundreds!
We watched a few Mickey's, ate lots of yummy snacks, hauled around all of the blankets, played with the blocks, mopped again, and did some laundry. After Linc's nap, I decided we needed to get out. Target - here we come!!! I was very careful and bundled us up really well.
We had a blast! Our first stop was the Valentine candy aisle, and we racked up! After wandering through the entire store, we found an awesome Mickey Mouse bouncy ball that Linc just had to have.
It did us both good to get out and see other people. Linc was waving at everyone and talking up a storm! Of course his favorite part was swiping the card at the checkout. He loves to pay . . . but with my money!
