All It’s Good For
After only 2 months….2 LONG months…..of Winter, I have come to the conclusion that there is only one thing that snow is good for. Sledding. Around our house, at least. You know it’s been a long Winter when even the kids are tired of snow. Apparently everyone but AJ is sick of doing this, too:…
