But it wasn't forever and ever. It was only a few days where the high was in the 20's. The kids got a kick out of how cold their faces got just going onto the porch for wood. I contemplated (for the first time in quite a while) putting a woodbox in the wall so that we could just open a lid on the inside of the house and reach in for more wood.
Thankfully, that urge passed. I don't think we'll do any more work that involves removing and replacing brick. Not willingly, at any rate.
We did get out to the Space & Rocket Center to see the DaVinci exhibit. If you have the chance, check it out. It's a pretty neat exhibit.
We had a few striking memories from it:
* DaVinci was more of a genius than we realized (and we went in *knowing* he was brilliant).
* So are the historians who could tell his tank was not, in fact, a space ship. I'm still skeptical. ;-)
* DaVinci's handwriting was atrocious, but James was able to read some of it using a mirror app on his phone.
* It makes me smile that he thought to do that.
* The exhibit is a perfect blend of hands-on and do-not-touch displays. I'm the only one of us who ended up missing one of the do-not-touch signs and touched something I shouldn't. Thankfully, John playfully smacked my hand and shook his head. He may also have mumbled something about not being able to take me anywhere.
* We need to go back. An hour and a half wasn't nearly long enough.
Kiss those babies, and stay warm!
