What th...!?
It was nice and sunny today so we went outside to play in the snow and clean up some of the branches lying in the yard. I made a big snowman in the backyard with the girls, and then a couple of little snowmen perched atop the stumps in the "amphitheater" area. The girls were amusing themselves rolling around in the snow, so I went and started in on ( Read more... ) -
