Still Too Much Snow and Progress Inside!

So we still have a TON of snow even though we have had a few melting days. At one point I gave the kids water bottles filled with food coloring and let them run like crazy banshees on the snow. Yes... that is the TOP of our trampoline frame. Lovely huh? At one point this winter, the snow actually covered the whole thing so you couldn't even see it. Scary.

Also, since the outside world was so depressing, we decided to continue on with the inside. We were beyond thrilled to start painting again and Honey LOVED my idea for brown and it turned out AMAZING! Just look at that rich chocolate color? It's so nice, I can't even tell you. We still have to paint the wall with the computer on it, but that will come. Progress is progress!!! The shelves we got from IKEA. That's when we took our spur of the moment trip to Minneapolis, MN and got them. Aren't they lovely?? Love it.

Also, the room above the kitchen is getting the love it soooooooo desperately deserves. Well, at least a little....more to come soon.

Spontaneous Trip to Mall of America....Part 1

I told you I was going to drag it out....lol Anyways, we decided on a Thursday night that we were going to take our family to the Mall of America in Bloomington, Minnesota. Roughly 7 hours away...which is closer than anything else.

When we got there, the kids finally figured out that we were staying the night...and the next day when we went to the mall, they were over the moon! First we went the the Aquarium, which is in the basement of this huge mall. I know.... a claustrophobic person's nightmare, for sure.

It was awesome though. The kids got to touch Chocolate Chip Starfish, see Moon Jellyfish and Manta Rays, Sharks and more! The loved it....until Karate Kid got upset at the idea that there might be a possibility of the sharks getting THROUGH the glass. Then it was not so fun. It took a while to convince. Sorry for blurry pics, there was no flash allowed!

Dad's Cayman shot!

I know I stink at Blogging...tell me something I DON'T know.

So I guess it's no big secret that I stink at blogging....and I guess there is something to be said about me trying over and over....and over and over... again. So..I get to go through and bring everyone up to speed....in a few posts... you know, so I can drag it all out.

In early February, we had Winter Carnival! That's where the local college students and groups do snow statues!!! Here's a look at the ones we saw. The theme was "Heroes and Villains find their powers, in these frozen winter hours."

This was the first place fraternity - they did the Incredibles!

This is Jack Jack

Second place did the Fantastic Four with the Silver Surfer - he's on the roof!

Third place was my favorite. It was Transformers! I thought they should have won.

A few other ones....AT-AT Walker - honey's favorite.

Plus ninja turtles! You could tell girls made them....how? The little wax turtle.

And.... Minions! BANANA!

All in all, it's been an interesting winter..... see some lovely pictures!

Honey Snowblowing!

We finally had to rearrange the coats and put hooks on the wall in the kitchen because our stuff wasn't thawing and drying off in the mudroom. Looks much better and it makes the kitchen look bigger too!

Baby It's tooooo Cold Outside!

I don't like cold... and lately, it's been VERY COLD!! Negatives for HIGHs and -45 wind chill? No THANK YOU! So, we ended up having a snow day here. It was fun...we did lots of fun things...actually, this was before the worst. I was just informed that we have had 45 inches of snow in the last 10 days. Yeah. NOT OK! So here's some pictures to enjoy from the past week and a half while we've been buried in snow.
