Yes we have snow, lots of it

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!
