Arctic hibernation

It's definitely January around here.  It has been snowy, followed by sunny and bitter cold.  Evie and Noah had a snow day on Wednesday, but we haven't been able to spend much time enjoying the fresh powder, because we have woken up to an average temp of -10 for the past several days.  I like to think we're pretty hardy, but at this temperature, it is painful to be outside for more than about 1 minute.  Just walking Noah into swim lessons yesterday morning, my face was aching from being exposed to the cold.  I'm dreaming of a warm, sunny vacation, but haven't had any luck booking one yet, so we are trying to make the best of the indoor time and riding out this cold snap.

Don't be fooled - they actually whined about snowshoeing the whole time.  This smile was before we had started walking!

Yikes, where is the sidewalk?!  This is Evie's route home from the bus stop.

Making the most of the snow

Ok, I'll admit that mother nature's cooler is a nice benefit of winter!

I was so impressed with this Sierpinski Triangle that Evie made during Math through Art last week.

Sophie came for a visit!  She is the best lounger.

Roscoe loves snuggling by the fireplace

Lots of indoor artwork time

Daddy's little helper is always ready for a project

Clifford! Oh no!

Evie was given a beautiful Chinese dress from our dear neighbor
