"Winter" in the midwest

It has been so warm for much of the winter so far and I am NOT complaining one bit! Let Denver have all the snow- they can have it! One advantage of the weather is that we aren't all cooped up in the house. Neighborhood kids are outside playing. D and I went out to try out one of her Xmas presents. It says "safe for indoors", but our house isn't large enough for the required "10 feet clear in all directions". The battery doesn't last long, but it is FUN while it does! btw- all you feminists out there- do you like they only have BOYS on the package???
