What do you do in the wintertime when the high for the day is 3 degrees, you ask? Well...


1. We take lots of baths just for fun.


2. We spend a half hour getting bundled up just to go outside for 5 minutes!



3. We go to giant indoor water parks (the kids favorite thing to do), but make sure to dry off good before we put our snow boots and coats back on.





4. Camp out in the family room.




5. We've considered hibernating.


If you have any other good ideas of stuff to do we are quickly running out of ideas. I think the next thing we are going to do is make a giant chain to count down the days till summer.

We just experience our first tornado. At 3:30 this afternoon on the way to Bayley's ice skating lessons the emergency siren sounded, we hurried to the gym and were sent to the hockey players locker rooms. We stayed there for almost an hour until it was safe to come home. We later found out that 2 tornadoes hit Kenosha, one was less than 6 miles from our house. It was right by Glenn's office (less than 1 mile). It touched down right after he closed down the office and sent everyone home. Luckily we were far enough away that we didn't have any damage. It was pretty crazy though. The siren continued to go off for the next couple of hours and every time we went down to the basement Isaac would say "The tomato is coming, the tomato is coming, we got to hurry." Funny stuff.
