I have been stuck in the house since Thursday – and I only left then to go to the doctor.  I am hoping things have settled down out there so I can get Tessa to her 18 month check up tomorrow.  Those in the north rolling your eyes – yes, 4 inches of snow and 1/2″ of ice have kept us in all weekend.  But remember, there is NO snow removal and no salt here so it stays on the road until it melts and it hasn’t been above freezing.   Tomorrow afternoon it is supposed to be in the 40’s but hoping it gets warm enough in the morning that we can get to the pediatrician.  I’m getting stir crazy!

There is a thick layer of ice over everything.  Our 50 lb dog doesn’t even sink in the yard – he can walk on top of the icy snow.

And having nothing to do with anything – Sabrina loves her new Princess and the Frog dress.  I picked up a few items on clearance at Target while my MIL was in town (including 2 matching Christmas dresses for next year for $4.50 each).  This one was an instant hit with Sabrina.  She ranks her clothing based on the twirl factor (how well she can twirl in it).
