And just like that, the white stuff returned on Wednesday evening and by Thursday morning, almost every school in the area was closed that day. Cam's parents are fortunate to be able to work from home, especially when the roadways are a bit treacherous. Cameron went back to sleep and enjoyed a relaxing day at home.
A humorous occurence did happen that morning, when each of us decided we would send our own messages to our dear friend, Mrs. Festian to wish her a happy birthday. When Cam was recording a video message, his dad decided that was the exact time he would send one as well..on Cam's iPad screen is a video of himself.
That afternoon, Cameron requested to help with a project, if possible. While Jane finished up a meeting, the guys were busy making energy bites. Energy bites are a scrumptious mixture of oats, peanut butter, vanilla extract, honey, and chocolate chips or m&m's. Mix together, scoop out, chill in the fridge, and then taste test!
By Friday morning, the roads were cleared and school was back in session. This was a relief for Cameron since a Target Christmas shopping trip had been on the class schedule for weeks.
With peer helpers, he worked on choosing gifts for his parents and grandma. He paid with cash and then back at school, he and his classmates wrapped the presents and the entire crew enjoyed a pizza party.
Late Saturday afternoon, we were on our way to the Double JJ Crazy Horse Restaurant. We were meeting our cousins for a double birthday celebration. It was Arthur's 2nd birthday that day and his mom's was the day before. We actually celebrated Cameron's 17th birthday at this same location so we knew we were allowed to bring in our own special dessert. Our simple cake was placed on a white cloth draped over a tray making it look very official.
Our dinner was most delicious and the dining area was beautifully decorated and looked so festive. On the drive home, we took turns choosing songs to play and the trip back seemed to fly by.
Sunday morning, Chris wanted to make a special breakfast for his son. Cam's dad decided to add food coloring to the waffle mix- red and green in honor of the upcoming holiday. Cameron, however, did not believe it looked very appetizing!
Camology Quotes:
Jane was working on creating picture puzzles via the local Walgreens store. Oddly enough, she was unable to complete her order one evening. Cam immediately offered his best technical advice...
"Mom, did Dad change anything on the network? Is it our firewall? Did you try an incognito browser?"
