*Does it snow at your house? Yup- and boy has it! In Ga, we don't deal with snow well. Let's just say that the state has about 18 snow plows..... and my kiddo has been home from school ALL WEEK. It was great to begin with, now- it's getting old, real quick. She still has no school Friday, and they were already scheduled off for Monday for MLK day. I am going crazy! Please send help....... 4 more days until school, 4 more days until school......

*What types of snow activities do you like to participate in? We have been sledding and built snowmen and even made snow cones. A couple of snowball fights happened too.

*What comfort foods, and drinks do you enjoy during a cold day/night? I made chili the first day and it was a hit for all! We have been drinking hot chocolate like it's going out of style and soup has been big too.

*Have you ever been stuck in your car due to snow-for a traffic jam, heavy snow,....if so, tell us about your experience. Nope. Thank God.

My fun fact- Dolphins sleep with one eye open. They can only rest one side of their brain at a time, otherwise they would drown. They alternate which eye is open the entire time they sleep.

Koala's are not bears.

Manatee's are known as sea cows.

Giraffe's give birth standing up.

My state is the Keystone state, and Hershey's, Tastykake, and Peps are all made here.

Texas is the only state in the US that can fly it's flag at the same height as the US flag.

 

[BELLEDOZER]

Pumpkins float...Greyhounds sink and hate water worse than cats (try to bathe one, the second I even attempt to get the shower ready for it, they dissappear!).

 

[Kirby]

Martin Van Buren, the 8th president of the United States, was the first president to be born a citizen of the United States. He was born six years after the Declaration of Independence was signed.

And why is that Susan?


Fun facts everyone

If your local park was to have a new mural put up there, what type of pictures would you like to see on it?

 

[xanphylus]

I think I would like to see local landmarks on a mural, with stuff like our train museum, the female seminary, all the historic buildings and even the world of coke on it. It would be cool to see all the different places in one unique work of art.

My DD9 said she would like to see all the different animals that live in Ga- so she could try to find them in the park!

 

[kristina87]

i'd like to see a nighttime scene, stars and stuff, or St Louis landmarks like the arch and jewel box

 

[Luv2Roam]

A citrus theme.
