Its been a winter cooped up in the house wonderland

Early Tuesday Morning the cold came and has not left yet. Late Monday night into Tuesday morning we had thunderstorms, freezing rain, sleet, & snow. Our temps did not get above 22° for 3 days so all our snow turned into thick ice. UGH! School was cancelled the rest of the week. Mad's school actually could not be accessed becasue the driveway gates froze shut not to mention the the parking lot turned into an ice skating rink. Last night it snowed leaving 5" of snow in our front yard. The sun came out which made all the difference and warmed us up to 33°. So after 3 days of not going out of the house I took advantage of the sun and took the girls outside. They had a blast with our many neighbors. What a beautiful day it was, one of my best. So the thaw has begun. Looking forward to tomorrow and for a 40° day.
