Smells delicious!

Gingerbread Playdough

Add the dry ingredients and the oil to a large bowl or pot and stir. Add the hot coffee, stir again and then knead. Easy!

My Arms are Going to Fall Off

Swam for an hour yesterday, so I was a bit sore this morning from that. It was with the kids, but I was treading water a lot to work out a bit.

Then it snowed SO MUCH today. I have shoveled 3 times already.

The last time I went out to shovel, I had a cup of coffee before I went out as I was feeling tired. This ended up with me shoveling the entire front lawn to make various snow structures like caves and tunnels for Jr. We stopped when we ran out of snow.

Plus I shoveled the neighbour's walks twice.

Plus I helped my neighbour move her furniture around today, including her piano. Really.

Looking forward to a hot bath tonight...
