The groundhog lied!!!!

Well the groundhog lied this year. It said there would be 6 more weeks of winter. Well not only do I have birds living in the birdhouse already but it's raining. Rain in february in Manitoba is not good. It's still too cold for it and basically the city has been shut down for two days now. No school buses running, no garbage pickup. On the news last night two people actually put on their ice skates and skated down the street. So that gives you a basic idea of how icy it is outside.

But last evening it wasn't bad at all. I took Faith to gymkyds and the only icy spot was our backlane. But I guess it got cold in the middle of the night and it was/is still raining.

Is it wrong to make my oldest do her homework all afternoon? My children are going stir crazy having to stay in the house. There is only so much stuff to do. At least with all this rain we FINALLY have sticky snow and we can make a snowman lol. Got to look on the bright side of all this. Yesterday we watched a movie.. played with lego...they played a game. I made cookies for valentine's day. It was a very long day.

Maybe all this rain will get rid of all the snow??? Hopeful thinking or what?
