Our weather station is showing -28.5 degrees outside and it blanks out at anything higher than minus 30. It was blank a couple of time over the last few days. It has been unbelievably cold- not just chilly, but eye watering, eyelash and skin freezing over cold!! Rory and I have been housebound most of this week. The weekend is looking good for maybe some sledding as temperatures begin to get closer to zero.
Lindsay took a photo of the Weather Channel's forecast for last night!! Note the wind chills!! Yikes!
Our view while we gobbled down some warm and tasty oatmeal this morning.
We were lucky enough to have a visit last Friday before the arctic air set in, from Auntie Shari and Maelle. Rory loved having Maelle to play with all morning. Maelle was a great sport as she was dragged from the train table to the colouring books to the tent to playing ball to lego to mr potato head!!
Finally a still moment sharing a book in Rory's tent and a cozy blanket specially made by Grammie Werkman.
We've spent some time this week baking, colouring, painting, building lego, playing trains and reading stories to keep ourselves warm and amused.
Rory has even had time to help daddy with some furniture moving around. Rory is quite the pro with his new drill that Santa brought him for Christmas.
A couple of weekends a go we escaped to the mountains for a day hiking in Kananaskis Country. It was a fantastic hike along the lake and Rory loved being in the sled being pulled up the hills and sliding down the other side. Lots of giggles.
