post-snow nap

snow suit, sledding, sliding and riding..i just snuggled into mom and dad's bed and slept it off! yes, that is my fluffly head sticking out between the pillows!

thankfully for mom, i slept for two hours..and dad slept for one!

Brrrrr (part 2)

we got another 6 inches today and boy is it chilly. dad pulled my on the sled along the charles and it was solid ice under the snow!

it was so slippery that mom could not even stand up...
i did ok -- so long as i did not move a muscle!we were the only ones at the playground but....i did not care because we got to clean all the slides ourselves!

gotta go...hot coca is ready! love to all!

my first sled!

okay, so we have not actually been outside with it yet, but it sure was fun anyway!

and it has already snowed 4 inches today so stayed tuned for actual sledding pictures. But likely not until after the ER (as dad will be driving the sled).

can't use a fork yet but...

brrrrrrrrrr

it was so cold on nye that we stayed inside and watched the fireworks from the balcony. we had to wear our coats over our pj's..brrr!

it snows so much here! thank goodness i let mom wrestle me into snowsuits and hats and mittens and galoshes... then dad and i left her with the ducklings for some snow adventures

and today.. see my shirt?
i did in music class. boy is mom wiped out!
