THE COLD WINTER DAYS

For those of you who don't know - it has been crazy cold here in Minnesota. It has been so cold they have canceled the schools and activity the last two days. It has reached temperatures of about -50 with the windchill. And has not risen above 0 degrees since Tuesday! It been the coldest it has ever been in the last 5-10 years.
Anyway we have been having fun indoors- playing puzzles, jumping on the tramp, playing with our fun Christmas toys and making big messes. We braved the weather to go to the YMCA (for mom to teach her classes) and to go swimming! The cold has not stopped us from having fun. But it does take a lot longer and a lot of work to bundle up the kids and - run FAST ... inside where it is warm!
Here is a picture Jocelyn took of her finished puzzle
the Girls

Caden making messes and doing his own puzzle- so he will not wreck his sisters puzzle.
