Wowzers guys can you believe this weather, now i know lots of us say we love snow, and i think its lovely to look at and if not too deep for the kids to play in but c'mon its getting silly now, ive been housebound with a 20 month and 4 1/2 year old for 3 days now, and seriously we are all getting cabin fever.

Its drivin me NUTS to be honest, no school, no driving,no visits and complete boredom, i dont even have crafting as my sanctuary as my little ones dont let me, and wont sit down to do some with me.
