And the weather outside is....

...dreary! It's been raining since yesterday, and warmer, so the huge accumulation of snow we got during the last two weeks of December is quickly diminishing. It's amazing to see such huge amounts of snow gone in a mere few hours. All the kids' outdoor toys are becoming visible again - we didn't get the chance to put them away properly before they were quickly buried deep in the snow. Our school district is once again closed, and since Austin's preschool goes on the school district schedule, he has no preschool either. The kids are really starting to get stir crazy, and so is mommy. We did Jump 'n' Party on Tuesday, and the mall playcenter yesterday, so now I have to think of something creative to burn off their endless energy. Right now the boys are putting puzzles together while Gretchen is still sleeping, so it's not too bad. But that may all change in another hour or so! Maybe today we'll go to Costco around lunch time and sample our way through the store!
