Taking the plunge!

This is what we woke up to yesterday. According to my weather station....

Do you see it? 12.9 degrees, 13 mph wind and -1 with wind chill???


I know some of you might be thinking "girl, you don't even KNOW what cold is!"


It is true. I'm the biggest of wimps. I grab a jacket if I know it will be under 70 degrees. 


Go ahead mock me if you must. Others do.


But even my windows didn't appreciate this temperature plunge.

This is ICE the INSIDE of my window in the kitchen.

I will look back on this day as a 100 year old record broken, coldest day of my life and the day I almost let my 5 year old skip school because I didn't want to leave the house to take him to the bus stop (by then it was 19 degrees, 10 degrees with wind chill).


I will also remember it as the day they started digging up our backyard for our POOL!


So, if we ever said it would be a cold day in you know where before we get a pool, that happened yesterday, hence the pool. Just kidding, we've been talking about a real pool for a couple years. Really, I swear!

Summer is just around the corner...I think.
