Presidents Day

Today is Presidents Day and we have no school in honor of this holiday.  Hmmm... the concept of no school has become VERY interesting.  When we moved back to the midwest three years ago we looked forward to the opportunity of some winter snow days that would allow us to stay home from school.  Our first year here we had no snow days.  Last year we had a few.  This year...whew, we have had a lot!!  We love each and every one of them!  It is unexpected, quality time that we get to spend together and we love it!

Here is our most recent weather summary:
-about a week ago we experienced extreme cold temperatures of -10 degrees which felt like -25 with wind chill.  Friday (Valentine's Day) school was cancelled and we got about 6 inches of snow.  Saturday we got about 3 more inches.  No precipitation Sunday.  Ice/sleet this morning and now it is snowing and we could get 2-4 more inches this afternoon.  Wow...it seems never-ending.  Our temps are supposed to rise into the 40s for the rest of the week - which will result in a slushy, sloppy mess.

I am finally catching up on pictures and blogging.  In order to get the blog updated successfully and pain free for my readers I have created many photo collages that help to shorten my posts.
