Four Weeks and Counting Down...

Seriously. The weather is absurd. Are you kidding me? 12 inches of snow in ONE DAY last week? -20 degrees and blowing snow this past Sunday? Why, Lord Jesus, did we choose Michigan as our place of residence? We left sun over 300 days a year in Colorado for this? Oh yeah...people we love are here. Damn the people we love.
Lucy made PLG Valentine's cards for the neighbor kids on Saturday and we STILL haven't been able to get outside just to walk them around to everyone's mailboxes. Why? Because I don't want to be labelled an unfit mother allowing my daughter to get freezer-burnt cheeks.
So I have decided in my mind, that I just have to get through the next 4 weeks and things WILL turnaround. By mid-March, things are always winding down. I'm not saying we might not see a little snow (once or twice!) but for the most part, it goes away fast and the faintest signs of spring start to make an appearance. And the most important thing for me - the kiddies can finally be outside regularly again!
In the meantime, we will try and hibernate just a little bit longer.
