I finished Susie Allison's book "Actual Parenting" last week and decided to get some supplies to do more indoor activities for the kids to get us through this winter. It was good timing because we had a winter storm that kept us snowed in for three days, so having some activities for the kids kept me from going insane! I have lots of pictures/videos from their rice bins, sticker activities, etc.
Wednesday morning we woke up to snow falling which continued all the way through Friday and even part of Saturday. We are so grateful because the farmers desperately need moisture! It's been a dry winter (especially compared to last year). We had the most success with our snow play on Friday when the temperatures melted things to just the right consistency. Justin and Emmett built an igloo for at least two hours!
Justin played around with the GameStop stocks this week. All the funny memes on social media made me laugh - my husband is one of those Reddit nerds trying to take down the man!
I am so excited to welcome February tomorrow. I hope to go snowshoeing with my girlfriends and take Emmett skiing at least once, maybe twice more.
We were so excited to attend in-person church today. We've been strictly at-home since Corona hit Butte County, so it's been a minute. It was lovely.
That's pretty much our news. Here was my January reading list:
1.) The Hiding Place
2.) Vaccines: A Reappraisal
3.) Ina May Gaskin's Guide to Childbirth
4.) The Path Between Us
5.) Actual Parenting
