Snow Storm 2011 and oatmeal

So for the past week we've been hearing about the massive snow storm that would hit. The storm is 2100 miles long and would bring 12-18 inches of snow from Tuesday night until Wednesday. School was canceled the night before, I can't ever remember this happening when I was a kid. Brenden's preschool sent out a message that it was the first time in 10 years that it would be closing for the day. And there was talk of possibly being snowed in for a day or two.

Well the storm came and went. We did get a lot of snow, but closer to 6-8 inches and the "blizzard" conditions only lasted through the night, they thought they would go all day today as well. It has been snowing all day, but nothing too crazy, maybe an additional 2-3 inches.

Jake was gone from 11:30 - 4:30 today playing at friends houses and sledding in the neighborhood. Brenden spent the day hanging out at the house and playing with his birthday presents. I took a nap thanks to Chris. And Chris spent the morning helping get all of the toys put together. We were fortunate that one of our neighbors plowed our drive way so we didn't have to shovel - big thanks!

I also decided today to have Rylan try cereal for the first time. She's almost 6 months old so pretty soon we'll be giving her cereal, veggies, and fruit everyday. Today after I fed her at 1:30p she still seemed a little hungry so I made her some baby oatmeal to try. She did great! I mixed about 2 tbsp with 1 ounce of breastmilk and she ate about half. She didn't make any weird faces or try to spit it out. She did get upset toward the end, but I think it was because she was full and that was her way of telling me. Hopefully she'll be this easy with all of her meals, probably not realistic, but one can hope:-)
