Think Spring! Please!

Ok, so after getting back from Christmas we managed to have a couple of nice normal winter days! And then, it started snowing the Wednesday before New Years Eve. It has continued to snow the whole month of January! Really it has. We have had so many storms I've lost count. We have had late starts, early outs, and no school because of the snow, wind, and fierce cold. I don't usually mind being snowed in but I have officially began to complain some about the long winter. We did have two days of 20 degrees plus but as I sit here Monday evening... (no school today and I'm doubting we'll have school tomorrow) I am getting cabin fever! ha ha! As you can see the kids and I did manage to get to Sioux Falls to see Kristi, Georgia, Justin, Mom and Dad. Mom came up and spent Friday evening and Saturday with us and dad came up Sunday morning. We managed to visit the Butterfly House on Saturday. Ahh, what a lovely sight to see hundreds of butterflies and green flowering plants in the dead of winter. I highly recommend it!

Dad and his hats! You gotta love em'!
