When it warms up.

It's finally starting to get warm. HALLELUJAH. It's been a brutal winter, the coldest here in 35 years. Our landlords keep apologizing for terrible welcome Minnesota has given us.

When it gets so miserably cold, all you can do is stay inside. And our basement playroom is frigid, even with a space heater. Pretty much the only fun we can have outside is pausing to kick the compacted snow out of the car's wheel well before hurrying inside.

But, honestly, it's not the chilly temps that have been so frustrating this season. It's all the sickness! I don't think there's been more than a two week span of everyone being healthy. I'd guess there's been more days with the majority of the family sick than not. New place, being stuck inside, all the sickness just brewed. We're so ready for spring.

But it DID occasionally get warm enough to venture outdoors. In which case we'd bundle up and play. We'd roll down the backyard slope.

And we'd take a break. Moving through snow is tough work!

The tire swing still works in the winter, doesn't it Grey?

Time for a snack!

And there's always time for a snowman build. Next up, hot chocolate!
