We stayed inside and played all day. They let me sleep in until 1030 which I was not expecting. Although apparently Kaydence tried to get me up at 930 but was too quiet (especially with me having one ear plug in to drown out the noisy furnace (sleeping in am unfinished open basement)). I got some good playtime in with both kids which was great. I've missed them. For only being about a half hour away from me it's amazing how easy it is to let life distract you from getting together. I feel like I hardly know Rylund, or at least wish that I was as close with him as I am with Kaydence. They killed my cell phone battery today playing with Talking Tom and Peekaboo Barn. I had a bit of a hard auntie moment this evening trying to teach Kaydence a valuable life lesson. Rylund had been playing nicely with my phone and She cam up to him and grabbed it out of his hands. So, understandably, he ran crying to mom. So after a minute I grabbed it from Kaydence. She immediately started whining "heyyyy I was playing with that!" "well. Now I am." oh did she start bawling. "well you did the same thing to your brother - how do you think it made him feel??" boy was she mad at me!
So I had planned on going home around supper time. Or rather, going to the mall and then home. But by the time it rolled around it was -35, dark and I was advised that the roads were awful! It is also expected to hit -49 overnight with windchill factor (this is insane!!! How is calgary NOT part of the windchill warning that is in effect for most of western Canada?!) Anyways, we decided it would be best for me to stay another night and go home in the morning after rush hour when it's not dark anymore. I don't work until 11 so that was doable. One thing I hadnt taken into consideration though until right when I was getting ready for bed: I had taken my bag and pillow to the car earlier that afternoon when I'd gone to plug it in! So I had to bundle up to go get it. When I got it back inside (still shivering) I discovered that my contact solution was frozen solid!! I've never yet fallen asleep before with contacts in (other than very short naps) and I wasnt sure about how I felt about it tonight. But then I decided to put the little bottle into a mug of hot water to thaw it out. Worked like a charm!! Good thing I'm so smart and can solve my own dilemmas sometimes!
