Yes we have snow, lots of it
February 17, 2007
We decided to brave the elements today. I mean when it’s only -10 (-17 with the wind), that’s downright balmy. We have quite a bit of snow, about 21/2 feet (or 70cm). R had trouble walking in it, so A and I had to break in some paths for her.  We were going to build a toboggan run, but I quickly realized that with all this puffy fluffy snow, toboggans just don’t go down the hill. So R and I decided to go play on her play structure. After I cracked off all the ice, R was quite happy to slide down and climb up a number of times. Meanwhile, A was building a toboggan run after all. He first packed a track down with a toboggan, then sort of “surfed” or snow boarded his way down on his track. Finally we tried it out with Rebecca, and it worked! So now we have a nice run that we’ll just have to maintain. R loves being outside. Even snow in her boots doesn’t seem to bother her.
Her funny expression of the day goes like this. R in the back seat of the car in her carseat playing with a baloon. She complains that her finger is stuck and hurts “ouch, my finger is stuck and it hurts”. A looks back and says to her “your finger isn’t stuck, you’re fine!!”. R replies “It’s ok, it’s just a commercial” HAH!
 Other strange comments: When she’s angry these days, you ask her why she’s angry, and she replies “Because I’m in this place and I can’t get out”. Profound!
