COLD days!

Wowzers, has it been COLD!  

Yesterday was a high of -8.

 Currently it is -3, but feels like -19.

According to the news, yesterday we set the record for COLD.

I haven't been to MOPS or bible study since the middle of December.

Maleah has had numerous late starts and couple days cancelled.

Dallas isn't able to haul grain.  

{The one time he tried, he gelled up, couldn't get ahold of me, and had to walk over a mile home. (whoops!!)}

But, I must admit: I am becoming more of a homebody all the time.  I secretly love snow days.

I must also admit: I'll be ready to see other adult faces!

We are hanging in there.  Actually, we are getting along quite well.  

Here's what we've been up to...

Ruby pooped in the tub!  This is only the maybe second or third time we have ever had this (with all four kids combined!).  The big three found it quite hilarious!

These two are seriously so cute together.  They play and play all day.  We have been resorting to running on the treadmill.  Hey, if you can't run around the house, you have no choice but to run in place!  As you can see, Charlie takes this as serious business.

Maleah is ready for a day of school (finally!).  With missing eight days from our trip, and a couple snow days since then, she is ready for "normal" weeks again.  I'm thankful she is so flexible.  Home/school; she loves 'em both.

There have been moments of pulling our hair out.  We've been together a.lot.

Overall, though, it's been kind of fun.

We certainly won't forget winter 2013/2014 as one of frigid temps, games, hot chocolate, reading lots and lots of books, and sleeping in.  :)
