Well, folks, on our snowiest day so far this season, with the help of Cher keeping LD, Spoons, and the Munch occupied, I completed my first batch of peppernuts!
And what a batch it was! 😅
There is dough for two more batches to come! These are some fussy pants treats but they are delicious, and not much beats the way it feels when everyone who comes through the door says the house smells like Christmas!
While I had a meeting with a social worker, Cher tidied up the garage so that Brady can make his way through it, since the lift is finally fully operational as of yesterday!!! Our friend, who happens to be an accessibility expert/contractor/business owner, was out discussing a project, and did the little modifications that we needed to get it up and running. Meanwhile, a few weeks ago, we had some loving friends come and move the garage around a little, as well as rebuild the landing and stairs. With their efforts, Cher’s efforts, and our friend Jared’s efforts, Brady can get from the van into the house through the garage! He will be able to park in there soon enough as well, but there is material for a renovation in the way currently. But again. Not for long!
While the snow kept coming down, my two littlest bigs worked hard on snow removal. With the BEST attitudes, mind you! I only caught one for a photo but it did not disappoint! 😍
They did a GREAT job clearing the spot in front of the garage as well as the ramp.
After a full day of baking, meetings, and literally ALL of our kids being out in the snow – Wave and Sol shovelling, Dekker shovelling elsewhere, and Laela and Rowan pumping out flyers – we rocked soup for supper and a cozy evening. Though the youth kids are still out 😅 I imagine one day I’ll get more used to everyone going in different directions but it still feels like new territory!
Ok. Time to put this away and settle in a little. My bed is fresh and cozy, and my feet are cold. Time to snuggle in.
