rainy days

This has not been the greatest winter.  When the weather is warmer, it seems like it is overcast and rainy.  We have also had some bitter cold temperatures and we just haven't been able to be outside as much as we have the last few years here.  We had so much rain for so many days in a row the lot next to us was basically a lake!  It was crazy.  My brother left the girls this giant whiteboard one time when he came to visit.  When the girls are tired of being cooped up in the house, they often go outside and draw.  Heidi has become very interested in Paris lately.  She researches it and talks about it constantly.  The other day I found she had drawn the Eiffel Tower on the board.  She is really a pretty good little artist!
