ANOTHER Snowstorm!!!!!

This is sooooo UN-Baltimore/Washington. This is the fourth storm we've had since the first on Dec. 5. It was reported on The Weather Channel last night (before this one even started) that DC was already, like, 298% above normal in snowfall amounts.
And now we're getting another one. Which typically was forecasted to be an inch.
As of 11 PM , it has been snowing for 5 hours and there is easily 3inches on the ground. It is supposed to snow all night. That will be a BIG "inch."
If that wasn't enough, there will be more this weekend.
Probably only an "inch".

Well, I'm back to getting my menu planned and enjoying the stress relief it brings. The holidays are fun but always disrupt routines like homeschooling and this.
So getting off on the right foot with February, it'll be:

Monday (Ground Hog's Day Eve when I traditionally celebrate Bill's German heritage :-). My Bill, not Bill Murray's. )

Pork Chops "mit der noodles" (that means with egg noodles for those who don't speak Germlish), gravy, and steamed carrots. Maybe some  biscuits (not very German but who cares).

Tuesday  Soup Night (Pioneer Girls; DadR Late)
Italian Stew , WW rolls

Wednesday CrockPot Night (Skating)

Slow Cooker Orange Chicken,from A Year of Slow Cooking (yes, I'm going to give it another try. This time not so unattended.)
rice, broccoli

Thursday

Friday
Lasagne, crusty bread, salad

Saturday
Bill's choice to cook

Sunday (Super Bowl and Granna's Bday)
Slow Cooker Texas Pulled Pork Barbeque, rolls, coleslaw, applesauce from Crab Shanty, cake

AND Finally, Something to Bake:
Creamy Banana Bread or if that doesn't happen, muffins from a box
;-)

Science: Slime!

This is what you get when you combine Borax, Elmer's glue, a little paint for color, and water. Yucky fun! See recipe below. (from Last-Minute Science Fair Projects (Scholastic): When Your Bunsen's Not Burning but the Clock's Really Ticking )

Combine 1/2 cup water, with 1/2 teaspoon Borax (available in laundry aisle).
Dissolve completely. In a separate bowl combine 3 tablespoons water with 6 tablespoons Elmer's glue and a tablespoon or so of tempera or acrylic paint. Mix well.

Now combine the two mixtures. Watch what happens! EEEwwww!!
