The big thaw

With the warm weather in the 30's and 40's this past week, I have come to realize how arctic MN winters truly can be. I was going outside in the 30's with no jacket on thinking it was almost hot. By the rest of the world's standards I fully realize that is bizarre thinking. But we took advantage of the weather and got out for a few walks. All three of the kids thoroughly enjoyed the puddles. They were stripped of wet clothes when they came in and slept well.
