This year has been different though, with a record amount of snowfall (technically mostly before the official start of winter) and many days of snow-induced cabin fever. You may not believe me, but we have had over twenty inches of snow!!! By the time the snow melted my kids were actually wishing to go back to school!!! How crazy is that? I was just as ready to get them out of the house, with all of their complaining and arguing! Truth be told, I am really glad that they got to experience a record-breaking snow storm. It may be the only time it happens... Here in Portland, we usually don’t get enough snow to mention, and we usually have to go somewhere else for that kind of “winter fun.”

We have been wanting to do fun winter stuff too - but the cold has been dangerously freaky cold, and the snow stopped once the below zero's hit. I can't wait for some NICE winter weather with some fresh snow to get out and do some ice fishing, sledding, and go see the ice sailing in town. Until then, we are watching winter from in here! ;) Fun!
