HEY, I have a question. How come pictures keep disappearing off this site? I know Angelina took the arch picture off and added her own bit of art work, but what about the one of everyone under the building block arch in the museum? not fair, and not nice. I say, 'leave them alone'.

Washington county whimps

I was laughing when I read that Washington county closed school because of the snow storm. My yard currently has about 2 feet of snow- the last foot came just this week the other had been here a while. The only rule our school has is that if the temp is below 20 degrees then the kids can stay in from recess. So this week they got to miss recess on Monday but since Tuesday was a balmy 22 they had to go out and play! hahaha that is pretty damn cold... Anyway the roads are gross and slushy during the day and slippery and frozen at night and early morning. We are all tired of shoveling the walks. Our neighbor has a little tractor with a snow blade on the front so that helps with the driveway. Me..I am ready for the spring....how much longer?
2 weeks ago after a big snow we took the kids sledding at a park near Grandpa Schramm's house. It was really cold but really fun. I even caught Rob smiling, but Halle No-Likey the sledding. Here are some Pictures...
