How Cold...

Was it this morning?

(-3C apparently)

Cold enough to freeze the water in the kids plastic stairs that are lying on the ground.

Cold enough for there to be a layer of frost on everything...

Too cold for Miss C to be awake at 6 o'clock!

I didn't make my way outside to take these until almost 8:30, so I hate to imagine how cold it was prior to that...this isn't a normal occurrence around here. Snow in winter is a rarity. (Although we did get snow in November when S was 17 months old.)

It has been almost impossible for us to keep warm these last few days without sitting in the heater. The clothes dryer doesn't even want to work...too cold.

From this freezing cold morning the day turned into lovely clear blue skies and we decided to brave the cold and get out of the house...

I didn't end up getting my shopping done...but who cares when you can go run around in a field and swing on the swings...even if it is freezing cold and you can only stay out in it for half an hour.

It was nice to see the sunshine.
