I Never Thought the Day would Come...

when I would say I'm sick of winter. My friends know me as the "Snow Queen". I've always said, "Bring on the white stuff, and plenty of it." But it seems the older I get, the more I can't stand the cold weather and all it brings...messy shoes on a clean kitchen floor, outside recess duty (or even worse, INSIDE RECESS DUTY:(, attempting to buckle kids in car seats with stay puft marshmallow man coats, and a husband who turns the thermostat down nice and low while we're gone during the day so that when I arrive home it feels like the frozen tundra in my house. Darn that groundhog for seeing his shadow...I'm ready for Spring!

Happy! Happy! Happy!

It's birthday season in the Metzger house! Starting this weekend, we will begin a birthday bonanza with Reese and Drew's birthday parties. Reese's 6th birthday is this Sunday. Then Reese and her friend, Ashlyn, will celebrate on March 6 with their classmates. Al turns 34 on March 13, and then Drew will celebrate his 8th birthday on the 26th of that same month. Let the gift wrapping and cake eating begin!
