We're finally getting out of a four-week long cold snap -- I see that we might hit 40 today. Yippee!! The first Sunday of the cold snap (can't remember which one) we had heard that the temp in the morning would be our high for the day. We woke up at 7 a.m. and it was 18 degrees. We kept checking the thermometer and watched it plummet -- 10 degrees, 7 degrees, 2 degrees by 2 pm, then zero, -2, -7, until by Monday morning at 6:30 a.m. the temperature was -20 degrees. (That's air temp, not windchill.) It stayed below zero for a week, and then after that it stayed in the single digits for the high temps for some time.
This photo is of the window in our upstairs hallway -- it was covered with beautiful ice crystals every morning. It was really amazing to see the temperature drop like that while staying in a nice, warm house that never varied. Thank goodness for radiator heat!
In the meantime, we amused ourselves by marveling at Marissa in her new Mater jogging suit. (Mater is a character from the movie "Cars" that we all get a kick out of.) We also played with balloons and made Lindsey's hair stand up on end.
Today we had a couple of meltdowns, and the kids were acting up too, so everyone's down for long naps, hopefully everyone will wake in a better mood!
