Bright and early I awoke to another 18 inches {but who's counting at this point} of white wonder. It is rather beautiful and certainly does provide for some lovely photos.
I noticed something rather comical from the inside the warmth of my home {and still in my jammies} on this particular snow day.
There is a dress code for snow blowing.
It must be highlighted in the owner's manual.
It reads: The individual operating the snow blower must wear a red jacket, black snow pants, black hat and gloves.
Every husband on our cul-de-sac was wearing the required garments in the offical colors. This is probably a good idea with the amount of snow were getting this winter as we might just lose them in a snow drift if they wore white.
When it snows; I bake. It's a rule!
I made a batch of these AMAZING cookies. They are chewy, chocolaty, and heavenly all in one bite! Warning ... they won't last long!
You must visit Bakerella. She has some of the most adorable ideas.
For a few other yummy recipes visit Kim.
Once the roads were clear I ventured out to run a few errands.
I found these lovies at Michaels. What a fun way to perk up my winter blahs.
*The journal in the top photo was just what I was in need of for my Bible study.
*The shoe folders and pencils have been put to good use in my reorganization flurry.
*I'm going to use the tags for labeling binders and to hang from white gift bags.
*Lastly the adorable purse and shoes note cards ~ a girls best friends.
*The pink and green paisley peeking through is actually my new ironing board cover that I picked up on my trip to Michaels.
I'm not sure of the last "normal" week I've had. This past week consisted of
1 delay
+
1 early dismissal
+
1 snow day
total chaos in the classroom
My poor little guys are SO off schedule, I am too for that matter. At the end of the day on Friday, I telling my students to have a nice afternoon and I'd see them tomorrow. Thankfully we haven't racked up enough snow days, yet, to warrant the need for school on Saturday.

I cannot believe all that snow! I almost laughed when they said on the news that all the snow out East is because of global warming. ;)
Oh my, and those cookies look delicious!! I always bake too on snow days...just seems like the right thing to do.
Hope you have a lovely cozy weekend!
I can't imagine having that much snow! I gained three pounds when we had 8 inches. I would gain ten if we had that much! Enjoy those cookies!
I must have some cookies!! Where's the recipe?!
Wow! That is a lot of snow! Since I am calorie counting, my mouth started watering looking at those cookies!!!! Chocolate is my #1 WEAKNESS!!!! They look so good!
Jo~ That snow is unbelievable!!! That is just crazy! Oh, the fun my kids would have in that! It wouldn't look serene & pristine for long over here. :)
Your cookies look heavenly (I'm going to have to make those) and your Michaels finds~ Fun! Will have to check that out.

That's a lot of snow! I like your rule and I think I'll adopt it... when it snows, I will bake. :-) Love all the cute things you picked up on your trip to Michael's.... what Bible Study are you doing??? Thanks so much for linking to Saturday Swap. Have a super weekend...
Now I bet if I was out there lowing snow all morning, I could afford to bake/eat those decadent cookies!
Hope you don't have anymore crazy weeks... Although it looks like you just may. :(. I too am so ready for Spring!!!
