  Five days after the snow storm, it's 70 degrees and the snow has all melted.  This is where the snowman once stood.

Can you spot his sad remains?

And suddenly she was four. Or "fouy," as she would say.

  When there's a potential snow day, I'm always torn between wanting the snow day so I can sleep in the next morning, and wanting the kids to go to school so we can have the day off in April that's designated as the makeup day.  Can't we just have both??

 I think they're hooked.  Luckily I'm not required to play.

  After Erik's birthday party last year, I vowed to never do a December party again.  People are just to busy.  January, on the other hand, is a great time for parties.  Especially if you host it in the black-light mini golf place in the mall.  People love dropping their kids off for a party while they go shopping in the mall for a couple hours.

What goes up must come down.  We just had to wait until a warm enough day to do it.

IHTBB again
  While the other kids were at school, Bailey tagged along with Jeff and me to the library, which is about her favorite place.  From there, she and I went to the Discovery Center to kill time while Jeff was in a meeting across the street at the hospital.  We nearly had the place to ourselves since most kids were in school.  Following Jeff's meeting was lunch out.  Don't tell our other kids how spoiled she is.
