OK NOW IT"S COLD!!!
Not that it wasn't before i supose but it is REALLY cold!!! it hasn't gotten above freezing in almost 10 days and thankfully yesturday and today the wind died down so it's only been in the teens now below zero... the boy's winter activity's got cancelled on friday due to it being too cold and it was 15 below zero it just wasn't safe for kids to be outside... yesturday afternoon i took the boys to the big hill to sled and they usually get at least 4-6 times down the hill and after 2 they were ready to go in it was just too darn cold...
Bradley took a bit of a spill on his first run down the hill so thats why he's a little scratched up but i took this picture to show the ice crystals on his eye lashes (guess his eyes watered a bit when he took the spill).. the red cheecks is just from the cold not getting hurt the resort next door has been making snow non stop for about 2 weeks now so even though it hasn't really snowed much they have a ton of the white stuff... it'a hard to tell in this pic but this machine makes the snow at an incrediable rate... it's on constantly it kind of sounds like a loud vaccum cleaner... luckely we don't hear it in the house but as soon as you go outside you can hear it...


Our water we leave on our screened in front porch has frozen solid... it has goten slushy before but overnight it just froz solid.. my laundry soap that i was too lazy to take down to the basement also froz.. (does this mean i don't have to do laundry!?) anyway i already got it about half way thawed so i could do a load this morning (darn!) Anyway that's all that's going on here... the sun is out today it's an amazing sensation warm sun coming in through the window then you go outside and it's FREEZING...
anyway ta ta for now
