Fun despite the Cold

Okay, bear with us as we come up with a few bad jokes about the cold weather inside our house :) Here are our top 10 reasons that you know when it is COLD inside your house...

1. You no longer need to refrigerate your butter, eggs or drinks because room temperature is about the same as the inside of the fridge.
2. You can buy cut roses and they last for over 2 1/2 weeks because it is like being in the floral shop's fridge (this has been proven as I have a dozen roses from Bryan that are over 2 weeks old and still beautiful).
3. You stop by the door on your way outside to take off your coat, hat, gloves, and scarf because it is 30 degrees warmer outside than inside.
4. You can all see your breath when you are eating breakfast together at the table.
5. You wear 2 pair of socks and slippers with a thick rubber sole and you still can't feel your feet.
6. You stand by the shower and debate with yourself for 10 minutes whether you can survive the minute it will take to get undressed and jump in the shower (if the pipes aren't frozen that is).
7. Your family is dressed like they are ready to go sledding, but you are only watching a movie together on the laptop.
8. You pull out meat from the freezer that you need the next night for dinner and it is still frozen in the middle after sitting on the counter for 20 hours.
9. You volunteer to do the dishes after meals because you want to thaw your hands in the dish water.
10. Your ideal family time is squeezing 5 people on a 2 seat sofa so you can read books and keep each other warm with body heat.

So we thought we would try a little humor while sitting here in the cold :) You may think that some of these are an exaggeration, but I can honestly tell you that when I leave drinks on the counter and then compare them to the drinks from the fridge, they are about the same temperature. Crazy!!!! We are enjoying every sunny afternoon out in the sun behind our house, and praise God for it's warming rays. It is so much warmer here in the winter than in Michigan and we find it ironic that we do whatever we can to stay indoors in a Michigan winter and we do everything we can to get outside in a Lesotho winter ;)
