Holy FROZEN TOES my PEEPS!!!
Isn't this ridiculousness??!!!
For those of you following my blog that aren't from the local area.
Let me get you up to speed...
Local for us is:
Good ol'
Minnesota.
More specifically....
Little town called Monticello.
We are usually right on the boarder of most cold/hot fronts.
The cities will get snow and we will get nothing.
or the cities will get TONS of snow and we will get rain.
(when i say cities i mean Minneapolis/St. Paul)
But here in MN we get all the fun stuff. :)
Except for spring.
Right now we have been getting snow up to our EYEBALLS!!
Now don't get me wrong. Us Minnesotans LOVE snow.
Just not at the end of April.
We like to wear shorts in April.
EMM'I RIGHT PEOPLE?
Anyway. We are ready for spring here.
We have a serious case of the spring itch.
We have LISTS of spring cleaning that MUST be done.
Cabin fever is at an all time HIGH!!!
This was us last week:
We built some snowmen. IN APRIL!!!
(and shoveled 3 TIMES!!)
(That was just Thursday...
...you should have seen it Friday...the snowmen MULTIPLIED!!)
"oh it will melt" You say.
Well right you are! And it did.
But guess what?
Its snowing again!!!
"Well, it wont amount to anything! Its April" You say.
Well if when you say "anything" you mean "6-9 inches"
Then RIGHT YOU ARE!!!
So to Recap:
We live in Minnesota
(Monticello to be exact)
Its April
AND IT WONT STOP SNOWING!!!
So. Now that you are up to speed we can continue.
:)
