I am so tired of being cold!

It is starting to feel like winter will never, ever leave. We have 6 foot snow piles on our lawn from scraping the driveway. It is bitter cold walking Emma to school and no matter how hard I try, I cannot get Natalia to walk faster than a snail on the way to school in the morning. Today seemed fine when I left. I think the thermometre read about -9 degrees, which is good in comparison to the temperatures that we have had lately, but what I wasn't expecting was the wind. Jeez Louise, It was BRUTAL. My cheeks were stinging by the time I got home.

It amazes me how the cold doesn't seem to affect the kids as much. They really don't complain much and if it were up to them they would stay outside for hours and play. The problem is that I don't want to be outside watching them.

Needless to say, my photos are all about the weather today.

First up, is a very, very rare shot of my girls together and they both look pretty decent.



While Gerben was shovelling the driveway last night the girls were beyond excited to see their snow mountain growing and growing and growing. The just had to admire it on the way to school this morning. Then after school they used it as a super cool slide. Oh how I wish I had their energy.



The long, cold walk to school! It's actually quite a short walk but when it's so cold out it might as well be 3 miles uphill both ways! :)



Natalia standing on a little hill at the end of our sidewalk. She trips over this hill each and every day!



Playing it up for the camera. She loves how the snow makes a great chair when it's piled up at the edge of the sidewalks.
