C-c-c-c-cold winter

So, we moved to Michigan because we wanted to be closer to our family.  The fact that summers were glorious helped, as did the fact that winter cold didn't bother me too much.  Until this year.  Wow, it's cold.  It makes it tough because the kids can't spend too much time outside- even though our ice rink is rockin'.  The snow stinks for snowmen and snowballs, too.  Overall, pretty much a bummer.
