-38 right now!! Windchill temps are expected to reach -50!!! That's like...I don't know, horrible! And poor Keith has to work outside in it too. He does stay in his truck (with heat on high) as much as possible, but he does have to get out and work in this stuff. He says he stays warm expect for his hands. Next week it's supposed to be above freezing and we cannot wait for those days!!! Not so unusual for Iowa to have these bitter colds temps, but not enjoyable or wanted! We went to the store tonight and when you step outside it takes your breath away! I think we all were hoping for an easier winter since last year was so tough.
They have already cancelled school for tomorrow. Which is good and bad. Good that kids won't have to walk in the bitter cold to school. Good that on normal days we would be able to stay warm inside. Bad for a couple reasons, I have a dentist appointment tomorrow morning that will take almost 2 hours. Debating whether to leave the kids home alone (probably not), bring them with me (after calling the dentist to make sure it's ok) or to reschedule (best idea). Appt is at 9am though so I have to get up early to call them. It's nothing too major and it can wait. Just getting a cavity done and temp crown placed.
Very bad for Kaden though. He has his invention convention final judging tomorrow. Don't think I've mentioned anything about this before. Salem did it back in 3rd grade as well. Every Tuesday since Dec 2nd Kaden has an invention meeting after school, but due to poor weather they have only been able to have 3 meetings. The kids come up with an invention to make something new, or improve on an exsisting idea. Tomorrow was the final day where their original inventions were due and they had judges coming in to talk to the kids. Kaden has worked very hard on his and came up with a great idea! We finished it all tonight. His project is done, his poster, his speech cards, all set to go. And then we find out no school tomorrow :( The poor IC had been doomed since the beginning. We'll see when they reschedule it for, hopefully on a nice day!
Kids are out of school Friday as well. Salem for a scheduled day, Kaden we are taking out. We're going to Mall of America Friday and Saturday!! So geez the kids will only have attended 1.5 days of school this week. That's horrible!! We're going to be going to school till mid June!
