Up until now, winter has been pretty mild. However, the last couple of days have been very, very cold. It is single digits and I don't think we are going to get above freezing until sometime next week! They even called out school today because it is so cold. Several of the schools here, elementary mostly, have classes in portables due to overcrowding. I imagine that the heat in a portable is not so effective when the high for the day is below freezing. Not to mention the absence of heat on the buses. Either way, my kids were just totally stoked to be out of school. We all have a long weekend since Monday is a holiday and we were trying to figure out something fun to do, but it is so cold it is hard to find motivation to leave the house! I was looking thru some pictures from our last beach trip and coudn't resist posting them. I am sooo ready for Spring Break now!
