I'd like to apologize for whatever I said or did to offend this winter. It refuses to give up and continues to punish us with cold, ice, cold, snow, and cold. And then more cold. It may not be the snowiest, though it's had plenty of snow, but it definitely had the coldest day I've ever experienced in Kansas, and it seems like it hasn't been above freezing more than a couple times since Christmas. Point is, I'm ready for spring. Anyway, today brought what we'd like to think is the final snowstorm of the winter, though the temperature is supposed to drop down to -8 over the next couple days, which sounds lovely. I would have loved to have taken the kids out to play in the snow, but it was something like 10 degrees or so, and that doesn't work for kids. They did watch from the inside, though, and were impressed with all the snow and especially with the snow plow that came by our house.
This picture is not really of anything in particular, but I really like the perspective and depth it has, so it gets to be part of this post.
We spent our time doing various indoor activities, including this one where the kids would try to pour blocks into a cup that I was shaking, causing the blocks to shake their way out of the cup, only to have the kids pour them back in. It doesn't sound very exciting, but I am pretty good with making up games out of nothing that are highly entertaining to the kids, and this was one of them. So it was a fun day overall, as we found lots of different ways to occupy ourselves while we were snowed in thanks to the storm.
