Ok, today is the Polar Vortex day, aka FREEZING COLD.  There is a little science experiment that if you boil water and toss it into the air (when it's this cold) that the water turns to snow before your eyes.  It worked!  Although Jeremy gave me a hard time for not taking video of this, I actually caught it on camera!  So the fuzzy snow right in the middle?  That was it!!!!  Super fun!

Happy New Year!  I have 3 kids getting along...at least long enough to take this picture, and yes I realize they aren't looking at me and are watching a movie.
