Random Snow Day Thoughts

Over the last several months, they've called for winter weather several times. Nothing has ever come of it. Today, however, my front yard looks like this:


It's tapered off for now with another round of sleet and ice to come tonight. I took advantage of the powdery snow to sweep (not shovel) the front walk and driveway before it froze into something more solid.


I haven't ventured out yet. The road reports are a little iffy. Kevin's coming home early, so I'll likely go out to pick him up since the Metro bus doesn't run until rush hour.


On another note, our lovely landlords sent us a package yesterday:



How sweet! Thank you, Howie and Liz!


Kevin and I were out wandering around Ikea for inspiration this past weekend, and I found this table (for $12.99!) that I want for the nursery:


I'd also, in my dream room, like a children's bookcase, maybe also in that red accent color? I haven't found one, though, that I like, and that is child-size. May have to let that idea go.

I'm not sure I know what a child-sized bookcase is, but we have one from Office Depot (or Staples, or one of those places) that is 2 shelves and white and has pretty accenting on the top...they're about $30.

I hadn't checked there, Amy, thanks!
