Its Snowing!
Can you believe it? It actually snowed here in Chicago yesterday. I had to actually put the kids in their winter coats. It’s only October, how crazy is that! Granted, it lasted all of 15 minutes. However, it made for a very slippery trip to the chiropractor. To make things even more crazy, we are suppose to have a high of 68 on Thursday. Then you wonder why all of us in the Midwest get sick in fall. Could it be our crazy weather?
