surviving in cold snowy wisconsin

well I never got pics put on here. but I have a few minutes while both children are sleeping so ill just write a few lines. we are still in cold weather . have had lots of -20 c weather since we started in northern Indiana jan 7. this week and last week we finally caved and parked the rvs and campers and are in a hotel but it just isn't near as homey as our rv is. here we are all in the same room and nap times are a challenge . in the camper we had 3 rooms that we could separate in to have accomadations for Derek sleeping and kids napping while I could do stuff in the living area. but I guess atleast we have a warm room and lots of hot running water and don't have to worry about the furnace running out of propane or the heater flipping breakers. Austin pulled the fire alarm in the hotel one afternoon. :) now he knows what that is ,lol. him and Derek had went down the hall to look outside and he asked. " daddy what does this do?" and had it pulled before Derek could stop him. we were walking down the steps the next day and he stopped and looked at it and said " mommy , I'm not gonna pull the fire alarm, it was loud! " but he still kinda acted like he would like to pull it. guess they have to learn it one way or another. I am sooo ready for my kitchen in my camper. they have a micerwave on the main floor but that's about the extent of my cooking. I did steam rice in the coffee maker and it worked and have used my slow cooker once. they serve breakfast here so I only have to worry about one meal. next week we head to Oregon, the west coast so I am so ready to let the kids run off steam outdoors and take them on walks in the stroller. we will be working our way down the west coast in feb. well I need to pay a few bills yet while the kids are sleeping but that's about all the news round here. God bless you all
