Cold Snap and......warming up!

We had a REALLY cold spell over the past week. It was -20 degrees on Monday, the 6th with a windchill of -50 degrees. It was so cold the governor called school off for the entire state on Monday and most schools were also closed on Tuesday!

It has made for some cooped up days inside and while we're trying to get out and about as much as possible to burn some energy the kids have also found a couple ways to keep busy inside.

Bishop has enjoyed playing "cleaning lady" and he got the baby wipes out and started wiping down surfaces all over the house!

That's efficiency--wiping with both hands at once!

Nora has kept herself busy taking care of her babies and changing their diapers and making sure their bottoms are extra clean (and making sure they don't get sore, by putting cream on)! :)

It finally warmed up this weekend and we were able to get outside to play in the snow!

We built a snowman!

And Bishop and I built a snow house--with a built in chair! I had a blast with him--and he was playing so hard he got hot so he had to take his hat and coat off!

I'm so glad it warmed up enough to get out and enjoy the snow and get some fresh air! We all needed it!
