And You Think Your Cold!

For those of you that can't read it the sign says -62. It's been an extremely cold winter for us here in Alaska. They say it's supposed to break soon, which here's hoping, but we are still in it for the long run. Winter doesn't normally break into spring until around mid May. However the upside is what Alaska is known for, Land of the Midnight Sun. 24 hours of sunlight for 4 months. So for those of us stuck in our houses until we absolutely have to go out into the frigid cold, we make the best of it and come up with games and activities to keep the kids busy. At least until it's -10, then we don our winter gear and play outside for half an hour or until they complain of being cold, we come in play some more games in front of the fire and sip our hot cocoa. It makes for some wonderful memories, though sometimes I feel like climbing the walls. It's been an amazing experience for our family. I don't think that I could ask for anything better. (OK so maybe a little warmer weather would be nice) LOL!!
