After living in Logan, UT for a few years I didn't think the cold would bother me ever again. This year I have started to experience cold in a different way, as in constantly wondering if Daniel is cold. Are his hands cold? Does he need a hat? If I put a blanket on him in his car seat what should I set the heater at in the car? I feel as though that's all I think about sometimes and as Jason knows, it would be easier if I could find his hats half of the time I start to look for them. But so fat Daniel has stayed healthy and hasn't been too cold. Stephanie's wedding was last weekend and it was so very cold. But luckily Daniel seemed pretty content all wrapped up in his warm blankets. It is on weekends standing in the snow with the howling wind that I do miss CA and sometimes even FL, even though I am aware that both places do get cold. Maybe one day we'll bust out of the cold northern states and head south, but until that happens, to those who must deal with it, enjoy the cold.
My kids love the dirt. They love being outside while I try to plant and do everything in the dirt. Alice rolls in, runs in, and eats the dirt. The grossest thing I have found lately is her with her mouth full of mud and a pebble in her hand and big smiles on her face. To beat that I have found her now three times with dirt in the mouth. Yuck! Today it rained. This has got to be the fifteenth day this month that it rained and my kids could not stand it. So eventually I told the kids to get their shoes (which makes Alice run to the door) and that we were going to IKEA. IKEA is a great way to spend the day. Daniel and Alice played in the kids rooms that were set up and ran through that little hole in the wall they have between two of the rooms. They loved it. One of the rooms had a slide in it which Alice discovered that she loved. Down the slide she went, over and over and over again. Then we came home and the crying and tantrums started up right away again. But for those two...
