Gabe was playing in the living room and I saw him bending over again and again. I asked him what he was doing and he said, "Dance moves". I asked him what kind of dance moves and he said, "Shoulders, knees and toes".

Iowa Weather Sucks!
No school today...again! We're going to have an ice storm starting at 8:30 a.m. and it will continue through tomorrow at 6:00 a.m. I'm pretty sure Dave made it to work ok this morning, although I'm assuming at this point that no news is good news. The roads are supposed to be pretty bad tonight though.
I had grand plans to go to Waterloo for a massage and a shopping trip today. This is the second time I've had to reschedule my massage due to school cancellation/inclement weather.

Madison's Christmas Eve Video Email to Santa
Madison had the idea to email Santa a video with a personal message from her. Here it is...
Skirts
One of Gabe's teachers asked if I could make some skirts for her daughters. She provided the fabric. There were three sets of two total, but I only took pictures of two of the three different styles. The other set of skirts were made with Christmas fabric.

Advent Calendar: Day 12
A visit to see Santa Claus. Maddie was all excited and told Santa she wanted Zhu Zhu Pets and the Jumbo Chixo's set. Gabe, on the other hand, hid behind a chair. I had to force him to sit for the picture. After that, he was out of there as fast as can be. The picture turned out pretty good, but Santa looks a little wonky.

Blizzardville
That is where we are right now.
Yesterday at 3:15 Gabe started screaming that his right ear hurt. I called the doctors office fast because it had been snowing for about an hour and a half already and it was just supposed to get worse. Their last appointment of the day was at 3:45. It takes us 20 minutes to get there on a good day. I told them we'd be there.
I bundled both kids up and got them in the car in record time. It was a scary drive, and Gabe screamed the whole way there, through the appointment and then finally settled down after I put some drops in his ear to numb the pain. The doctors said he has the beginning of an ear infection. It must have been pretty painful for him though. It even pulled him away from the computer.
The picture below is out the dining room window looking towards our front door. This was earlier today and it is higher now.
The next picture is out our doorwall to our screened in porch. The wind is wildly blowing. It is so fine you can barely see it.
The next picture is out our back windows.
We were a little surprised to see that there aren't snow plows here, like in Michigan. A tractor plowed our cul-de-sac. Gabe had a ball watching it out the front window.
Dave is out plowing our driveway right now. He's been out there quite a while. At one point when I looked out the snow was higher than the top of our snow blower.
