Weekend Review... Plus That Day We Had No School Because It's SO COLD

Warning... this post is probably going to be mostly about weather {again}. But y'all, this is what we woke up to...

Yes, that say it feels like -36!!!!!

Crazy cold. Thankfully, my little school is closed today due to "Extreme Temperatures". The insane amount of snow on the ground may have had something to do with it too ;) So my winter break was extended by an extra day. But poor Z, he had to go to work. He did wear lots of layers. But still, I felt terrible that he had to get out in THIS! There was no way I could drive him though... our car is buried under tons of snow, and our street is too! Good thing he's tough ;)
So our weekend was spent mostly inside. And preparing for this crazy cold! Friday we ran a few errands {had to get gloves for Z and warmer socks for me!} and then had a date night at home with chili, a movie, and hot chocolate {well, I had hot chocolate}! Saturday, we slept in and then headed to Michigan Avenue. I had a few places I needed to go down there, we hit up Chick-fil-a for lunch, and then we went to a matinee movie! Later, we met some friends for dinner at Coalfire Pizza... yum!!

Bundled up, riding the bus to dinner with friends ;)

 Sunday, we had really good intentions of going to church. But we were going to be sooo late. So we grabbed brunch at our favorite little diner instead. And we immediately thought we were CRAZY for getting out at all! It wasn't nearly as cold as it is today {it was still cold!}, but it was snowing and there was SO much snow already on the ground! It started snowing Saturday afternoon and didn't stop at all until late last night! While we were out, we also got Z an actual winter coat {since he has been layering two lighter-weight jackets that are not warm enough for the cold weather we've been having} and braved the grocery store with all the other crazies. We made it back to our apartment by 1:00, and then we cozied up and stayed inside!!

This is how bundled up I was, ha!

Z enjoys cold weather way more than I do ;)

I have never seen so much snow!!!!

So now I'm stuck inside all day and hoping Z makes it home without freezing! We heard on the news that Chicago has lovingly been nicknamed "Chiberia" because of the frigid weather... I don't know if I should laugh or cry about that ;) I'm just glad this is record-breaking and not the norm! Stay warm, friends!
