So today we woke up to falling snow and we couldn't see the Road just in front of our house which means it was a stay at home day... these days have been pretty infrequent in years past (we have averaged 1 stay at home Sunday a year) but this year this is the 2nd Sunday we have been snowed in and it's only Jan!!! I have to admit the Snow and high heating costs are starting to ware on me, and AGAIN IT'S only JAN!!!, Don't get me wrong the BOYS LOVE that there is plenty of snow, Winter Activities started last week and there was absolutely no question that there was plenty of snow for the festivities... I went to Hunter's first Winter Activity day as a parent volunteer but of coarse I don't ski or snowboard so I was assigned to be a floater between the Ski rental guy (to fix any boots or ski's that didn't fit properly) and the "never ever skied before" group... see the actually prefer for those adults to NOT be on ski's so you can dive for a kid that's taken a face plant or to grab them before they get drug by their ski's on the carpet lift... it was fun but it was dang cold on Friday and the wind was whipping even though I came bundled with a stocking hat and my heavy (ugly) coat and my gloves my poor cheeks suffered the wrath of the cold wind... I came home to a burning red raw face, I have very oily skin normally so I have no clue what to do for this sort of thing but after digging through my plastic tub of old bathroom stuff I came across a moisturizer that came with some Hair gel I think, so i quickly slathered it on my face, it did feel a little better but i just figured it would take a bit for my skin to recover.. I quickly planted my toosh on the couch watched a movie and fell asleep on and off, I got up because my face and neck kind of felt hot and itchy, I'm only assuming My face revolted at the prospect of the cold, snow or most likely the moisturizer I had dime size blotches all over my neck and face.. I quickly washed my face and prayed they all would be gone by morning and that It wasn't the kind of allergic reaction that would close my throat.. luckily it wasn't and most of them were gone by morning.. lesson learned.. cover my face and don't use anything on your face you got for free with a hair product!!!
other than that all is well...
Next week we do the play.. we are all a twitter here in the Fox home our only concern, Snow is predicted for Tuesday and Wednesday, Tuesday is Dress rehearsal and the FIRST time all the kids will be on the big stage so it's kinda important.. and Wednesday we have 2 performances in the day and 1 at night then Thursday night.. the kids have worked so hard on this performance it would be a shame if any of it were cancelled due to weather.. we do have the prospect of having Friday as an alternative but it's not ideal...
well that's all that's going on with us.. please don't share with me how you sunned yourself in your pool and it's 60 degrees, i might have to put a hit out on you!!!

Bummer about all the snow! I am glad your throat didn't close up. Nice to hear from you!
After spending almost a week in Utah - I remember why I wanted to go somewhere that doesn't have snow. At least you have a good winter sports program to keep the kids busy. I think I would go crazy if there was nothing to do.
There is a good, cheap facial moisturizer at Target (it's their store brand) that has an SPF in it. It's for people with "sensitive" skin. I have terribly "sensitive" skin, and it works great on me. Maybe you could try that?
Good luck!
