Snow & Valentines...

https://www.facebook.com/wxbradWCNC

Snow again this week? Say it ain't so!! After the beautiful weather of this weekend, it's just hard to believe. I can feel the cabin fever starting already, but I'm not going to let it take over. I've got this handy dandy "Snow Activities" list from Parents Magazine, and I plan to use it if necessary.

I also hope you all have a very happy Valentine's Day...if I survive the making and signing of the Valentines with a six year old and 2 four year olds, I'm going to call my Valentine's Day a success...signing your name over and over is not my kids' favorite activity! Make it a great week!

Blessings,
The Buzz
