I guess we moved back to the US. We are definitely not in Singapore anymore. Holy snow.
Saturday morning we woke up and had a winter wonderland outside. It was super fun - we built a big snowman, hung out throwing ourselves (ok, Sam and Elie did that) all over, Matt shoveled...it was gorgeous and fun, especially since it was in the 30s. Sunday we played in it some more. Monday was pretty much as usual until the evening. Then the city shut down as a huge blizzard was expected. We all slept like super champs and woke up to about a foot of snow on the ground. But it was coming down. Hard. In the early afternoon it seemed to slow down and we ended up with probably two feet of snow! It was super cold, so not THAT much fun to go out and play in for a long time, but it was pretty unbelievable to see and experience. We played inside all day, watched Frozen, did a few different bead projects, read about a hundred books, baked a bit, made it outside for a bit, and three of the four of us were in pajamas all day (Sam had to wear a dress, of course).
Wednesday (yesterday) was another snow day from school but not from Matt's work. Luckily (?) I had a doctor appointment to check on the fetus (heart looks good, placenta looks better than they thought at the last scan, and it's triple confirmed it has a penis), so we got out of the house early. Both kids came with me, and Samara was a super big helper. The kids basically ate through the appointment, which was totally fine. We asked Samara's friend, Emmy if we could come by for a bit, which was super nice and fun. The rest of the day went by as normal with lunch, naps and playing (I couldn't convince Sam to go outside - she barely moves after her nap) and Nancy came over for a visit. Thank goodness we're back to our regularly scheduled life today.
The snow is still CRAZY - it's like a tunnel to walk down our sidewalk, and the snow banks are as high as the stop signs, and I just heard on the radio that we're expecting 2-4 inches tonight and another storm on Sunday night/Monday! Where exactly is that snow going to go? I don't know - but as long as we have heat and electricity (and school to keep that older lady busy) - I am happy!
