Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow...

...and it did! Overnight we've had so much snow - Alex helped Brett shovel the steps (on one side of the building - the other side are now icy) and found out just how cold snow can get when she insisted on delving into snow drifts wearing her fleece mittens...

This first one is the playground at Orchard Downs we often visit after playgroup.







This is of the MOUNTAIN that is "Hackberry Hill" in Orchard Downs - kids (college aged too) flock there whenever it snows. School's out for the uni so it's unusually quiet! I intend to go sledding there with Alex if the snow stays til the weekend.





One thing I'm yet to get used to is planning to leave 15 minutes earlier than usual, so that I can scrape the ice off the windows of the car and warm up the inside before Alex and Sebastien come downstairs. Also, this morning was the first time that the rear door locks had frozen locked - meaning that Alex and Sebastien had to go through the front seat to get into their seats in the back. Thankfully by the time we got to Monday Mania across town, Alex's doorlock had thawed, and by the time we got home for lunch, so had Sebastien's.
