What to do?


What do you do when it's in the neighborhood of -20* on a Sunday?
If you are Child A, you give up and fall asleep on the floor for 3 hours (and counting...)
If you are Child B, you convince your Dad that it's a good idea to throw your new football in the living room, since it's too cold to go outside. And a day without football isn't a day worth living. And because your mom sucks and won't buy you football gloves. Boo  hoo.
If you are the dog, you bark loudly at boys throwing the ball in the house, and try to chase it down, in case it decides to attack a family member. You never know when this might happen.
If you are the mom, you quickly insert your iPod ear buds and turn them up loud, so that you can pretend you are home alone, enjoying a peaceful afternoon. It helps if you can go into another room.
If you are the mom you might also get the urge to go crazy and channel your inner Torm and clean things you don't normally bother with, like the stovetop and the refrigerator. If you are really lucky, the urge will pass quickly before you do too much work. 

Stay warm out there!!

LOL at your pics :) I should still be in my nice, warm, comfy bed right now, but for some reason, I'm wide awake....maybe this cold weather is giving me too much energy? Nah!
