the pork dish soaks

Somehow we were talking about the chicken dish, and I mentioned that it was day eight. Ben was confused, so I told him that I wrote a blog post about it. Then I read it to him. He confessed to never having changed the sheets, and he actually laid down in it, not just sat in it. My day keeps getting better!

And the dish is still downstairs in his room, and now the pork dish is sitting here in sudsy water. He said he was going to let it soak and will do it later. We all know how that will turn out.

But in other news, we are getting more snow. School was delayed because of it today. I was just glad I didn't have to go out in it. I took this picture yesterday as we drove home from school. It is not a one-way street, despite having to drive on the grass if you encounter another car. But you can't tell from this picture since it's all white anyway. After the trees clear is one major steep downhill. The van slid all the way, turning to its side. I was a little nervous, but it worked out.
