Jan 4th 2012

Still have a small bit of snow in the front (for the doggies to sniff) but its already 37 degrees here today, so I suspect it will be gone soon. I must admit I love the morning sunshine.

Well, the first day back to school successfully completed! And the kids did try to enjoy what was left of our snow ... sorry, did not get pictures of them out in the snow, but Gus and Allen did take the snow blower to the back yard ... yes to the back yard ... in an attempt to try blow snow from one area onto the main sledding area. So weird that there is barely enough snow for sledding in Jan ... hoping we get a bit more sometime soon.

Jan 2nd, 2012 ... what was I thinking?

Really what was I thinking going out to Target? They had 20some checkout lanes open and all of then had three or more people waiting to check out ... nuts I tell you, just nuts!

Well, we had no snow for Christmas ... weird here in MN. But on New Years Eve we were in a winter storm warning. It did not amount to much either ... just 1-2 inches here at our house, but it was enough to make out kids happy. Unfortunately it was probably only 12 degrees today ... so very little playing outside ... they did try a few times for brief periods.
