Frosty

It's been, to sum it up in one word, a bit frosty around here. We have been averaging somewhere around -20 for what seems to be about a month now (as in 30 days!). That isn't factoring in wind chill- which some days will bring the temps down to about -30. So, needless to say, I haven't been getting out and about much.
We try to get the kids out every day- but at these temps they are only good for a few hours at a time. And with my growing mid-section the warm winter clothes are not fitting as well as they should. To sum it up in one word again, they are snug.

So we have gone on walks.

Walks that include hitching Oscar up and having Jon run like a mad man (pulling the girls) so he will follow him. Fun had by all, except Oscar.

Did you know that children still like to eat snow, even when it is -20 outside? It's true, they do.

Proof....
Even Frosty the Snowman has been cold, poor guy. I hope it warms up soon!

By the way, happy 2012 to you and yours!
