We Have Ice!

Since I have not yet filled in the missing posts, you don't know that our freezer fritzed out on us. First the dryer, now the freezer. It was still keeping things relatively frozen but no ice. Naturally, we discovered this on Saturday morning. We had hopes that one of the kids had left the door open but with no ice and nothing refreezing solidly, our hope went down in flames.

The guy came today and replaced some thermostat in there and we have ice! I have heard it crashing into the container on a regular basis. So, we have ice in the freezer and plenty of ice outside.

Today not only was husband home but the kids were home as well. Two of the boys were supposed to be going on an almost 5 mile hike around the Manassas Battlefield. Greg was planning to go along to be one of the adult leaders. It was below 20F this morning and so I shot down the idea of the two boys going. They really don't have the clothing to withstand this kind of cold long term, one is dealing with a nasty double ear infection and the other is coughing (along with everyone else) Greg went up anyway and was willing to go along but after outlining our reasons for our boys not going, the hike was called.

We got Tinsel a new bed today since she has outgrown her other one. We found a nice pillow at Sam's but it had some greasy dirt spots. I asked about it, it is a discontinued item so no hope of it coming back in. I pointed out many others with similar stains so they took nearly half off. Tinsel likes her new bed.

ORN: Lost motivation, if found, please send my way because I really need it!
