An Unexpected Winter 'Break'

Tomorrow we go back to work after nearly an entire week of being home.

An unexpected 'winter break' of sorts.

Fun at first, but I have to say after 3-days homebound because of winter weather, we were stir-crazy and I'm actually ready to get back into our routine.

As to what our 'unexpected break' consisted of?

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Watching it snow...

Baking and cooking.

We all ate and drank WAY too much over the past week.

Wasn't much else to do...

Except watch this munchkin play and play and play and play.......

Shelby's school was closed Wednesday, Thursday and Friday...

She finally mastered her Sit and Spin!

Big day!!!

Thank goodness for our neighbors Bryan and Shannan.

They came over 2 different nights.

Shelby really got into showing off for them too.

Super cute..

Valentine's Day we had a sitter booked to go out, but giving the roads weren't totally clear, of course she canceled.

So, we spent the day and night with Shelby.

(while both semi working from home)

She spent time with her Valentine's bear.

Cooking....

Cooking a little more...

And, we ventured out for the first time in 3-days to celebrate Valentine's Day with a lunch.

The main roads were starting to clear but side roads and parking lots were still a mess.

Even so, it got us out and about.

How cute is she with her Daddy?

Friday evening we both agreed we had to GO somewhere or DO something before we went absolute nuts.

So, on Saturday we headed up to my in-law's house and let them watch Shelby for a few hours while we enjoyed an adult lunch at nearby Childress Winery.

We always love visiting Childress.

It's become at least a 1x a year event for us.

We enjoyed a bottle of wine and the most decadent lump crab pimento cheese appetizer.

This was so filling that the flat bread we ordered we could barely eat!

Then back to visit with Brad's parents.

So great to see them and for them to spend some QT with Miss Shelby.

We came home yesterday(Sunday) and Brad was feeling under the weather with yet another bad cold.

I sneaked out and enjoyed a girl's night with a few friends enjoying dinner and the movie 'August: Osage County'.

Then today, Shelby went back to school and we were still off for President's Day.

Brad was feeling better so we had a date day and went and saw the movie 'Lone Survivor'.

Tomorrow??

Back to reality.

At least for a few days.

We're actually leaving Thursday for our anniversary trip to the mountains!!

I love how we've made it a priority to go somewhere by ourselves every year to celebrate.

Something special about it.

Hope you guys had a great start to your week.
