The children and I have been reading through the Little House on the Prairie series, and we just finished up The Long Winter. Parts of January and February felt like a very long winter here in Arkansas! We had several snows and lots of freezing temperatures. We had the biggest snow that our children have ever seen at the end of January. Isaac and Bailey had lots of fun playing in it, but the younger three did not stay out too long. We had a couple of more snows after the big one, but the children were no longer impressed. I do not even think they went outside!
Mark and I had to spend a little time thinking through our emergency preparedness. Our area of Arkansas is known for ice storms and losing power. The thought of being without heat for more than a few hours, made me shiver! We bought a propane heater to huddle in front of if the power goes out. Thankfully, we have not had to use it so far. We are considering buying a generator before next winter. We have all enjoyed the warmer weather the last couple of weeks. We are definitely ready for spring!
