It's only when you have to go out and clean the barn that it's less fun. I'm told I still HAVE fingers, but I can't feel them anymore :)Susanna Leonard Hillhttp://susannahill.blogspot.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1007703247358638748.post-84635530061320910372013-01-25T15:09:36.336-05:002013-01-25T15:09:36.336-05:00Eeesh, that is cold!

Our kids freaked out as we would watch the temperature dip from inside the car. Thankfully we just had to get from the car to the building wherever we stopped, so it wasn't too bad. All that to say, stay warm lady!<br /><br /><br />Wow, that IS quite an accomplishment for an 11 year old.
