Stuck Inside

We woke up this morning and it was 25 below zero (F.). Fortunately, the superintendents used their senses and cancelled school for the -45 windchill, so George is home with us today. We're all staying inside as much as possible. Only George has been out to feed and water the chickens, and walk the dog 1/2 a block. Even the dog comes in shivering!This is a good day to finally show you the bathroom tile project-completed!And to let you see a little of what we've been doing homeschooling/life learning-wise:Some collage art with Rose.
Rootbeer making with Elijah.
Knitting hats for babies and playing games with our homeschool co-op friends. And refereeing the still-ongoing old cat and new puppy battles. (We've discovered, as if we didn't know it, that our cat is quite the b*tch!)

Ooh, and George and I just joined on facebook.com, so now we're reconnecting with lots of *old* friends. Are you on facebook? It's yet another online addiction...

Brr, sounds cold! But nice to have a day indoors every so often.

And yeah, facebook is addictive!

Love the tile work! A project soon in the works for me...last time my dad was down (a few weeks ago) he left me his wet saw for my project ;) I can't wait to get started! I just need to finish a few before I start that.

I *does* look cold there!

I have been avoiding Facebook like the plague :) Another thing to suck me in, lol!

Love green in bathrooms. Looks good.

Were you knitting for children in Guatemala, etc?

I am on facebook. I have a little widget on the side of my blog which, I believe, takes you to my facebook page.

We are dealing with the cold as well although my husband did have to go to work today.

It looks like you are beating cabin fever and having a good time.

Mon, I don't know where the hats are going, exactly. Someone in our group just gave us the pattern, and as I can't find it right now I can't see what the organization is. I forget!

It's nice to hear someone likes the green. It was the color the house came with, and luckily we could still buy tiles to (sort of) match the old ones. We had the tub installed like, um, almost 3 years ago and they had to take out the surrounding tiles so this was just a repair of that area. I like the green better now that I have a nice hemp shower curtain on the outside (it used to be the inside curtain, but it gets to stinky when wet...).

Good luck with the tiling, Jess. George did a great job, using your FIL's tile saw.

Yeah, facebook...ack!

You had even colder than we did! We were at -22 this morning. No school here and they've already called off for tomorrow as well since it is supposed to be near -20 overnight again. I did have to go in to work today but made V give me a ride. Even I'm not crazy enough to walk in this.
My daughter is on facebook but I've been avoiding it. Maybe someday... but I really don't need another distraction.

I like the green too! My aunt has a 1920's house that has a pink and black bathroom :-)

Facebook is addictive but then I get sick of it and quit for a long time. Then I get sucked in again. But in the end I like blogging much more!

Oh my, I can't even imagine a day that cold... I've only seen snow twice is my whole life.
