Our Snow Day Obsessions!

Jackson had a snow day on Wednesday; boy, I miss those :(. Anyway, Jackson thoroughly enjoyed zoning out to SpongeBob (who doesn't?) and Jude pulled his seat up to the window waiting for the snow plow to come past. It looks like Jackson will enjoy several more snow days before the end of school, which he reports he's been in for, "81 days so far."




Back to Basics



So Jeremy found an really old (I mean like 100 years old) cast iron skillet @ Gram's house. He asked to borrow it for an experiment. He brought it home, cleaned it up, and we put it on top of our wood stove. Yesterday we attempted making pancakes and eggs on it. It didn't work as well as we were hoping - our wood stove has several layers of filters the prevents the top from getting too hot - we still were able to pull off a few pancakes and an egg. It was fun - kinda primitive, but fun to experiment!
