Burrrrr Blur

I often remark about the weekends being a blur and this one was no different, except it was the Burr Blur, with temperatures dipping to subzero and 7" of new snow.  At this post, it is a balmy -5 (with clear skies, though!)
We awoke Friday morning to the first round of snow and Carrie calling in panic because 1) Gabi's school was delayed until 10:00 2) Spencer was scheduled for some medical procedures prior to 10:00.  You get the picture!  They dropped Gabi by on their way to the hospital and I took her to school (quite a lengthy trip with bad roads), followed by an appointment with the attorney (figuring out the legal stuff on Gramma's house), promptly followed by another trip to Eaton to take Spencer home after his second procedure (no pictures!).  He had a "cyst" removed from his forearm during the first one, with the surgeon surprised by the outcome- not a cyst, but a black, marble sized growth. ( Fun weekend for Spencer!)
Friday night was the Father-Daughter dance and Curt took Sophie, who looked beautiful, by the way!

Saturday night was the Sadie Hawkins (girl ask boy) dance

 at Rory's school.  He said he had an "awesome time", with the exception of a lack of snacks at the dance!  What's up with that?
Saturday night, Sarah and Emi arrived from California (coming to our frigid environment from 70 degree weather ) and as usual, she came to the rescue getting the family hair cuts and color.  We had everyone at our house on Sunday for a Super Bowl (not so Super, by the way) party and dinner, where Sarah cut and colored, and the kids played in the snow. (note that I did recycle a WalMart bag on my head while my color set....It looks about as good as Gramma's Bronco hat!)

 

 

 

Action shot!

Inside, there was snacking (lots), swear words toward the football game, Jenga, puzzles, school projects and the general Simmons Family Sunday .

 

And don't cha know, we just HAD to throw a turkey dinner into the mess!
