March- In like a Lion.

March is here, and the big story around here is the weather. Basically, it has stayed cold. Like really, really cold. It has been at least 20 degrees below normal, and at times, the temps have been well below zero. It feels like spring is a million miles away.

Today is a really crazy weather day. It started raining at like 3 am, which caused flooding all over town since a lot of the drains are covered with snow and ice. Once the temps started to drop, the rain turned into freezing rain, and now snow. It's pretty gross outside. So, we are all just hanging out at home having a snow day. So far, we have had an art session, hotwheels, legos, and now we are watching the women's Jackrabbits team play in the summit league tournament. It's been a pretty fun day at home, I'm ready for a nap though as a cute little boy woke me up at 6 am.

Last weekend was pretty fun as well. On Saturday, I took the kids to the Library for a Dr. Suess day at the library. We had storytime, crafts, and just had a really good time. We ate some lunch at Fizoli's afterwards, and then headed home. I started to feel pretty lousy, so I made everyone have a nap, which went over well. After naps, I still felt crummy, so I stayed home while the kids and John went to Rory and Jacob's birthday party at the Stampede Game.

The kids had a really fun time. The made birthday cards for the boys, and helped pick out their gifts. They enjoyed pizza and gifts at the Polzins' house before heading to the Premier Center for the Stampede Game. They got to meet a Stampede Player, and each got a hotdog and a pop at the game. The Stampede lost, but everyone had a really good time.

This past week has been pretty uneventful. It's stayed pretty cold, and snowy. Last night we had the parents verses kids basketball game at Bethel. It was pretty fun to watch. The kids had fun running around with pom poms and cheering, and like usual, the kids beat the parents. It was a nice way to get out of the house and do something before being cooped up all day today.

Well, I better get back to tending the house, and cleaning up messes. If we get really motivated today, maybe we will sort through the toys in the basement.

Still dreaming of those spring days!!
