The end of Christmas break with a blizzard

 Today the boys were supposed to return to school.  The truth is that usually at the conclusion of Christmas break I'm ready for the boys to go back to school and get back into a regular routine.  This year is no different.  Don't get me wrong as far as Christmas breaks go this was probably one of the best breaks the boys have had.  The boys actually got along and spent a lot of time together.  Right after Christmas Nick camped out at night in Jay's room.  They stayed up late, talking and watching movies together.  Then on Jan. 5 a blizzard swept in.  We have about 6 inches of snow with below zero temperatures.  Yesterday the boys went out (of course) and played for hours.  Today it's even too cold for the Siebert boys.  They attempted to go out but the cold forced them to come back in.  Tomorrow the boys are still off school.  What is this crazy mom to do?  I have loaded and emptied the dishwasher constantly, emptied the trash consistently, planned more meals that I care to mention and have heard the question, "Mom, what can we have for a snack?" way too often.  I'm exhausted!
 I just thought this pic was cute of Mike and Cole.  He's a lover, just like Copper. 
 This is Jay who convinced his brother to sit on the front of his four wheeler with a shovel so Jay could use him to plow the roads.  Nick being the obedient younger brother that he is went along with it. 
Here's our other 2 children who add to the chaos that is our life.  Cole is quite smitten with Copper.
