Winter!

We've finally been hit with WINTER. Full blown winter too, super cold temperatures (-20 with the wind chill) and snowing every day. I think Shawn has had to shovel a minimum of 2 times per day most days.

What does Samara think of this? She is THRILLED. Loves it! She opens the hall closet and shouts which item of clothing she'd like and then walks around the house with her toque (hack!), mitts (mipts!), boots (boots, that one she's got mastered!) or winter parka (coak!) on (or all of the above). It is really funny to see her reading a book or playing with blocks with her snow gear on.

The other day, Shawn gets home from work. Samara and I are sitting on the couch reading a book.
Shawn: Did you guys just get home?
Me: Nope, why?
Shawn: Um...well, Sam is wearing her winter coat, that's all.
Me: Oh, she's been wearing that for about 2 hours now.Every night Shawn has taken her outside to play and she is just over the moon. She calls it all a huge MUSH (mess, we think?) and when she fell over and face planted into the snow, she inquired about the BUBBLES???? I think she was wondering why her bath bubbles were so frigging cold on her face!

Oh man, I LOVE that picture of her in the boots - totally makes me laugh!

Isn't it great when they like being outside and they have a daddy that will take them out :)

It's so hard to believe you guys have snow already, it was 66 here today. I'm loving that she is so happy outside in it though! What a doll.
