Hi!
Yesterday was a holiday, Islander Day, so it was a day off for everybody. We had a blizzard on Sunday! The kids had gone to Summerside to spend Saturday night and the plan was to have the in-laws and kids come back on Sunday for dinner. However, the storm prevented this and DS and DD didn't get home til yesterday! That was fine, though. They have lots of friends in town and had a grand ole time being storm-stayed. HH & I had a relaxing storm day too, watching "House of Cards" on Netflix. The storm actually stopped around 4:00 Sunday, but our road didn't get plowed till around 10:00pm! HH cleared our driveway and there was a big drift on the road right in front of the house. It was nice and sunny (though cold) yesterday so the kids and I were able to go outside for a bit to build snow forts.
So, I went shopping this morning and spent around $120. I didn't buy meats but I did I buy socks for HH, toothpaste and Ibuprofen so without those, it would've been around $100. Finally, a more reasonable bill.
Here's our menu for the week.
- Mon- Frozen Lasagna, Crudites
- Tues- Leftover Curry Beef Stew from Sunday
- Wed- Beans- Haystacks by DS
- Thurs-

Here's what we ate last year.
- Mon- Pasta, Frozen Chickpeas
- Tues- Porkchops, Broccoli, Potatoes
- Wed- Frozen Chickpeas, Quinoa, Chinese Cabbage (funny dinner!) No school today (b/c storm?)
- Thurs-//Turnip Soufflee, Bread (no power!)

It's funny because last year the kids also got storm-stayed in town on Saturday and Sunday. Plus we are expecting more snow tomorrow and Thursday just like last year!
Have a great week! :-)
