Snow, Snow, and More Snow

I know I live in Minnesota but I am tired of the snow already. I don't mind snow but I am ready for Spring. If March is supposed to be our biggest snow month ever, then I am not looking forward to it. Supper tonight was Chili and it was a very fitting supper for a night like tonight. I think that I need to plan a getaway for March...Wisconsin Dells is looking good for the kiddos.

Snow pictures

I finally got a bunch of my pictures downloaded so I could post them. This is one of the first big snowfalls we had. K loves it outside and gets very upset if we have our coat on and she can't come with. She got new boots and the first couple times she wore them she kept tripping and falling because she was watching her boots and not where she was going...

I love the contrast of the pink against the snow...

Group Shots....Daddy was trying to help...

I love the contrast of D's jacket and the white of the snow...

C was all tuckered out afterwards but very deep in thought yet.

Hey Baby - It's Cold Outside!

It is cold and blowing out today - didn't want to chance taking the three kiddos out. This is a picture looking out onto my deck right now. It started as rain, then ice, and then turned to the big fluffy snow. Now it is snowing again - not the big fluffy flakes - the yucky kind of snow. I love the big fluffy snow and probably would have gone out in it except that all that other junk came with it. Right now it is 16 degrees but feels like 2 with windsheild. Tomorrow, the high is only supposed to be ZERO and that doesn't include windsheild - so I guess we are not going anywhere tomorrow either.

So, then, I was planning on hunkering down in front of the computer with some more Russian tea to try to enter some more contests and hopefully win some Christmas presents while the kiddos were sleeping. But by the time I got set up and ready, K woke up and D came out of his bedroom to talk on the phone with Daddy - not taking a nap. That will help for tonight because then he will go down earlier but no chances of winnings - not that I have been successful anyway! C loves his naps - just takes a bit for him to relax and fall asleep.

K has a cold - hopefully she will get over it quickly. I do not like when the little ones are sick - I would rather be sick. She is a little congested. Here is a cute picture of her from LNO modelling one of Lisa's butterfly bows in her hair. She made lots of others that are cute as well. You will see more in K's hair that is for sure! Aren't they adorable! Isn't K adorable!!

Just a Cold Snowy Day

It is very cold outside and I think this will be the first time this winter that the snow will stick to the ground. It has been snowing off and on all day with blowing winds. I do not look forward to winter. I do like snow but don't like the cold it brings. I remember the January just after D turned one there was tons of snow on the ground but it was like 45 and sunny - now that would be a good winter!

I have been sorting through toys into buckets all day - well sitting with sleeping children on my lap too... I need to gather all the winter stuff for the boys, making sure it is washed and ready for tomorrow. I know I have pants for D, I just can't find them. I have four pants for C so he should be set. K should be set too...she's a little to young to be frolicking in the snow this year. Not looking forward to all this!!!! YUCK!
