Snow...and more snow...and more snow

Okay, I don't have any pictures to post because it is too cold outside to take one, but there is so much snow here! (I guess I could take one out the window...na...too lazy). But anyway, it is very cold here and just keeps getting colder, and more snow keeps coming, and the wind keeps coming, and then more snow, and then more wind, and then a very cold wind chill of -19F. Anyways, you get the picture. It is cold and snowy and windy here. This is the coldest winter I have had in years. Yes, it gets cold in Canada, but at least it would warm up for a couple of days in between the cold. Here, it just stays cold. I think everywhere (except the few people that live in the desert in Vegas) have all experienced a cooler then normal winter this year. Wierd. But the truth of it is...I actually love it.

• I love being inside and staying all warm and cozy while it is blizzarding like crazy outside.



• I love that I don't have to bundle my kids up and force myself outside while they play for 2 minutes, and then want back in. They take one look outside and don't think twice about asking.



• I love that I can get projects started...and completed.



• I love that I can stay in my pj's all day long (not everyday, but lately, more often than not).



• I love that I can spend more time making forts and playing with my kids.



• I love that I can be lazy on the couch (for a certain amount of time) while I read or watch the kids play.
  

What I don't love...

• That EVERYTHING keeps getting cancelled! I really do need to get out of this house at least once in a while. I was so looking forward to a really fun enrichment tonight and what do you know...it started blizzarding...again. So it was cancelled.



• The snow plows. Or lack thereof. Where are they?



• And when they do sneak by, I love that huge amounts of snow get pushed into our already filled driveway. Nate especially loves this when he works a 10pm shift and doesn't know there is a mound of snow he has to drive though, then proceeds to get stuck and ends up spending 1/2 an hour shoveling himself out. He loves that.


• We just can't seem to keep up with the shoveling. We really need a snow blower.

So that's all. Here are some pictures of Cassie and her outfit she chose to wear today. She is silly. Also, she wanted me to paint her cute little toes (for the first time) so there is a picture of that. Enjoy, and stay warm!

Dylan just looked at this and noticed there wasn't a picture of him. So here it is...... (can you see why I didn't put it up in the first place?).
