Works great! <BR/><BR/>It is 10 below here this morning too - with those 40 below windchills and a blizzard warning, well, we haven't been back outy! :) Supposed to get up to the 20s again by Tuesday. <BR/><BR/>Beverly - we wanted to do that too! We made little snowball mounds to put candles in, but the snowstorm hit before we got that far! I know they can't wait to try it out. We should try carving out little spots in the walls too - I bet that would be fun. <BR/><BR/>HOpe you are all warm and cozy! It is quite a day here!

Reminds me of my childhood. <BR/><BR/>My brothers and I used to have those snow block makers. My kids have been using the recycling box, which is huge and I don't know how they haul it around. But it makes great big fort walls, too!<BR/><BR/>Now, if only we could get rid of the extreme cold so they could enjoy the outdoors more. It's -10F. here this morning, with an even more terrible wind chill.Lisa Zahnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17491596171533559615noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27387788.post-52750098438521870462008-12-21T07:12:00.000-06:002008-12-21T07:12:00.000-06:00Now that's a house!
