I am bored!

Alex says it a couple times every day. Its usually about 1 pm when he has been playing with legos for 3 hours and his mind can't handle it any longer. I sympathize with him. There is only so much you can do inside and this weather is killing us. Its bright and sunny and beautiful. But its still freezing cold. We are so ready to play outside but frozen fingers and noses are not worth it.  

Last Saturday I woke up, made my bed, got dressed and was ready to hit the road for my first run of the season. I got out about an 1/4 mile and couldn't feel my pinky fingers at all! I came back home. Our enthusiasm is bursting at the seams to do all the things we want to do. The weather will break soon, I know it. Its MARCH! 

This was today...

This was a couple of days ago...

We get a lot of snow here. With snow comes a lot of difficult things (ice, overcast sky, salt on every surface, chapped lips, scraping windows, I could probably go on and on) But it also yields snowmen, snow angels, and no matter how hard I try the kids will always make homemade snow cones. 

We love it here in Michigan. Especially when the sun breaks through and we get bright blue skies over a heavenly blanket of snow. Today was a was one of those days. And thank goodness!
