This winter has been one of the coldest and snowiest in recent memory. The College has even had two snow days and one delayed start, which is almost unheard-of for a residential campus where most faculty live within walking distance. I love all the snow, but the extremely cold temperatures have made it too cold to play outside most days, which is a huge bummer. The silver lining, however, is that it has made me realize with absolute certainty that I do not want to live in Minnesota, where it is regularly far below zero with even colder wind chills. I like the temps that allow us to bundle up and play in the winter wonderland!
We have been able to get out and about a little bit more recently, however. Both kids absolutely love to play in the snow, and to help Daddy plow the driveway.
We regularly shovel our way to the grill--no reason to wait til spring for delicious grilled meats!
"I made a comfy chair!"
A big attraction for Nathan this winter is clambering around on and sliding down the big banks of snow that the plow makes along the perimeter of the driveway.
Natalie loves shoveling duty.
With the length and grade of our driveway, I am very thankful that we have a plow!
Apparently riding shotgun while Daddy plows is very soothing!
The snow monster in action. :)
