The children were SO excited to wake up to a beautiful blanket of snow. They missed it. They missed getting all bundled up and building forts, and having adventures outside. Well, winter is here and months of fun in the snow are ahead of us.

I have a list of projects to do around the house and have been crossing them off one at a time. One of the projects was to move the bookshelves over about 8" so that the red chair fit in the corner better. That was easier said than done. The girls and I worked...
