We are definitely in the coldest part of winter for the next 4 weeks at least. When Colby went out to the bus stop this morning it was 6 degrees. YIKES!!! He reminded me of an eskimo with his hoodie hat on that covers his neck, nose and head. All you could see were his eyes. I remember all to clearly those days as a kid. Waiting for the bus and sobbing by the time I got to school because my hands hurt so badly. We didn't have the insulated gloves they have these days we had those cotton mittens that you would layer and pray they didn't get wet because they would absorb every ounce of moisture. I am pretty certain our coats were not as warm either. I also didn't have the benefit of catching the bus across the street. I had to walk up our 500' driveway and down to the end of the street. We were the last house on the entire street so it wasn't close that is for sure. We also didn't have the benefit of getting an automated phone call if school was cancelled or delayed like they do now. So some of those mornings I would walk down to the bus and wait for an hour and a half before I realized the bus wasn't coming. Covered with those snowballs that would collect on us from our cotton mittens and hats.
Well before this winter is over I plan on taking the kids sledding. Maybe this Sunday if tempertures are not to frigid. My goal is to treck up the hill and go on at least one run w/the kids. I was a lazy lump last year and although I took them I stayed at the bottom and video taped the kids instead of participating. Something I intend to change this year. Not only do I need the exercise but I need to participate with the kids so they don't only think daddy is the fun one. I will bring some hot cocoa and let the kids be true kids for a few hours. Rachael do you possibly want to join us if the weather is not too bad???
I have been an exercising nut and truly enjoying it since last Friday I have only missed two days of exercising. I do a program called Cardioke and it is a blast. I am hoping that I will see some results soon. I am so motivated this year to not slack and keep going to try and make a healthier me.
Okay well it is school time for kids so need to go teach some little minds.

I so totally remember the ice balls those froze to our mittens as kids! How funny you mentioned that! As for Sunday, what time are you thinking? I know Megan has a basketball thing in the afternoon and I think Dane or Dylan might have a game, too. I will check!
