FEBRUARY.
It's the worst month of the year.
It feels like we've been prisoners in the house for months. That's because, well -- we've been prisoners in the house for months...ugh...
Winter in Iowa is brutal. And long. The days are dark and dreary.
The snow still on the ground -- which was so soft and fluffy when it first floated down -- has been freezing and thawing for 3 months now. It's been pushed into dirty, gravel filled cement/ice piles. Get too close, and they'll rip off your car bumper....
After three months of constant FREEZING and THAWING...there are patches of visible grass...but, just when you think it's okay to walk out....OHHH...NOOOO.....it's ICE, PEOPLE...slippery as snot...ugh...
DANGER...DANGER...DANGER...DON'T GO OUT THERE...!!
Fortunately, I have some pretty good indoor-Grandma-game....

| Thanks to Uncle Ross -- Warren has his amazing Lego Table |
 |
| He spends hours building his Lego masterpieces. |
 |
| Entire villages |
 |
| Skyscrapers,even... |
While Warren is Legoing -- Lilly reads books. Every weekend, we watch movies, we play board games -- and WE GO TO THE YMCA..!!
 |
| This has become their #1 favorite thing to do. I carry all our swim gear in the trunk of my car. So, we can go swimming at any time, without advance planning. Because I travel with a HUGE supply of swimsuits, towels, goggles, balls... |
 |
| Lilly loves to punch in... |
 |
| These kids are NEVER HAPPIER than when they are in that pool!! |
Hey -- it's GOOD FOR GRANDMA, too!! But, the thing is -- we always work up an appetite!!
 |
| Even in a restaurant, Warren turns it into a Lego build |
 |
| We love the half-price Appetizers...and have our favorite places to go. |
 |
| And, of course -- our favorite games!! |
Can I assume you will (or have0 vote YES for a YMCA in Eldridge. PLEASE.
ReplyDeleteCarol -- I was under the impression only Eldridge citizens were voting on this bond issue.

DeleteCarol -- THANKS for the website. You are right, and I can vote -- AND, OF COURSE, I WILL!! I'll also make sure the people working the desk at the Bettendorf YMCA KNOW WHO SHOULD VOTE...ugh...
DeleteThere are two items on the ballot, one only Eldridge citizens get a say in. The other for anyone. I have ALREADY voted YES !!! ;)
