Backblogging...

I have been backblogging today in between playing games with the kids, picking up the house....We are all a little stir crazy with all of this crappy cold weather and ice fog we have been having. Ava's swim lesson was even canceled this morning...what do you do outside when it is so flippin cold?

I've added some post and pictures here and there - check 'em out ;-)
Don't forget if you click on the picture you can make it bigger.

Austin's attempting Smoke on the Water again...

and again...

Ava showing off her new glasses - she is so excited that hers are two toned pink and white like my black and green ones. Notice she is still in her pj's.

In the 40's still!!! Minus 40 that is - on the bright side, we visited with the sun today :-)

SUNNNNNN!!!!! Yeah baby - the sun came out today and we had a good visit! The ice fog has been so thick and the daylight hours so short it seems like forever since we have seen the sun.

here it is again :-) NICE!

Look - we can see the garage from the house...I guess I should have taken pictures with the ice fog so you could see the difference. It is so clear out today - if it would just warm up. -42 at our house again! I've lost count how many days since it has been above at least -30.

Literally just a little over an hour later and the sun is almost down :-(

Austin playing guitar hero Aerosmith - he has wanted this thing forever and finally picked it up last weekend...Pappa even took him to game stop to pick it up...go figure!!!

Myrtle & Austin

Myrtle or if you are Ava his name is Flower Golden Sparkle!

Temperature at Fred Meyer the other day...so it probably isn't calibrated but it is still damn cold!
