Snow, Snow and More Snow

No new posts because there hasn't been much going on. It has been snowing a lot and we don't get out much. One day last week I went to help my friend Phia out with a couple of things. When her kids got home from school they wanted to take my kids out in the snow. Not a problem. Well I ended out there with them, not dressed for it at all. But the kids had a good time while they were out there. Megan was pulling them through all the snow in her backyard. Thats not an easy feat. Its at least 60 lbs. It looks like they were enjoying it.

On the way back, Elsie walked with much help. This is Megan trying to help her.
Reid and Nicholas heading down a little hill.


So on the weekend, Uncle Rick came to stay for a couple of days after their sales meeting. Daddy and Rick decided to take them sledding(or tobogganing as we say in Canada). Fortunately the old owners of our house left this oldschool toboggan. It worked perfectly. Here they are getting ready to go. You can't tell from the pics, but it was sooooo cold out there. The wind was really bad. We only ended up doing a couple of runs and heading home. I think the kids liked it though. There were no tears.
I almost missed them in this shot. I love this pic. Elsie has her hands covering her eyes. Rob is trying desperately to steer, Reid is just hanging out and Rick is being a ham, waving.
Here they go, coming from the top.

The pull up the hill is the worst part.

There they are, way down at the bottom.
Today it was actually in the 40's. A whole lot of melting was going on today. Its probably good that we took the kids. I hope that we don't get too much more snow.

The 40s is extreme cold for me and extreme cold for you. What a funny country we live in. Such cuties all bundled up!

OMG how fun. I really should have taken my kids to the snow this winter.
