OK, so it wasn't nice, soft Canadian snow. But it did provide for some interesting science experiments to see how ice is formed, and how it melts. Yes, that is Liam holding a huge, dangerous looking piece of ice he managed to pry off the slide. So we couldn't make a snowman. It was still interesting. And school was cancelled. Woo-hoo (for them...not so much for me).
I'm including a picture of the grill, because that is what it looked like this morning, and yet by evening Jim was out there grilling up some chicken for my Chipotle-restaurant style tacos. Way to brave the elements Jim! (He approved of the tacos, by the way. Not Chipotle, but close enough to warrant grilling in the freezing cold).
A new development recently has been Natalie's interest in the computer. I made the mistake of finding a website with My Little Pony games on it. Good news is that within a day she was using the mouse like a pro (nothing more annoying than trying to help a toddler use the mouse before they are ready). She will even grab my arm and remove it from the mouse if she thinks I'm overstaying my welcome when I help her get to the game section. Bad news is that now she bugs me all the time to "pewter". Maybe I have set a bad example, because she did tell me the other night that she couldn't sleep because she could hear me "pewtering". I am thinking of submitting "pewter" as a new verb for "working on the computer".
Anyway, it was a day when she took too long of a nap, so she was having a hard time going to bed. She came out of her room and demanded to know what I was doing on the pewter, because I was too loud. Excuse me for my extra loud typing when I blog...I will have to try and type more quietly. And I will remember to keep that nap to no longer than an hour from now on.
Trip 1 News: None. I think our agency was shut today with all the terrible weather everywhere. Rumor boards are empty. I am still thinking about it every second. Every.single.second.
