❄ Brrrrrrr ❄

It has been pretty cold here in Ohio the past two days, so cold the boys have been off of school. I don't think they've had a full week, since going back after Christmas!  I'm really looking forward to next week though, because these boys need to get back in a groove and so does mom!  Colin, more than anybody! This poor child of mine, just can't seem to get over the angst he feels right before getting to the building. So, please Lord, help him get back on track here soon! ♥  Anyway, the news stations prepared everyone for the Polar Vortex, but I have to admit I wasn't expecting it to be this cold. Ok, ok you see and hear the temp #s, but it just doesn't seem real that Ohio can be colder than Greenland or Alaska....it was yesterday! It is still pretty cold today, but it's going to be warming up here and hard to believe in the 50s come Sunday.  You gotta love Ohio weather this time of year!  I love the seasons, however, it's like Mother Nature has been bipolar this past year with these crazy weather patterns we've experienced. Just has been a weird weather year, I guess! Due to the cold, Ethan has been chomping at the bit to try the Hot Water Toss, so last night he did it and it worked.  He was so excited!  We tried before, but it must not have been cold enough, because we just got water back in our faces. LOL! Last night though, it was definitely cold enough! I must say, it was really neat and he was pretty excited to finally experience what he's been watching on YouTube!☺
