snow

We woke up this morning to SNOW! Now we already had 
snow on the ground but anytime it snows more is a bonus!
I know most of you are thinking SNOW? BONUS? PLEASE.
Life doesn't really slow down here in Ottawa. You get up,
you shovel the drive and you go about your day.  James
shoveled the drive while Zada and I constructed a snow
mountain to play in. Then we all played a little kick ball.
Later in the afternoon Zada and I took a little walk along
the pathways. It's amazing how a normally boring open field
turns into this amazing play area when there is snow involved.
Zada ran all over this field making snow angels and foot prints.
Then we continued to walk to a little park. Again everything changes
when snow is involved! Swinging becomes more fun... play houses
become more fun. The walk home started to be disasterous.
"My legs are tired... I need to pee.... are we home yet..." Then
someone got the idea to throw snowballs at my back which
entertained her the entire way home! I'll take whatever works!

We also noticed on our drive this afternoon that "THEY" are working
on the out door ice rinks!! WOHOO!!! Zada said that we NEEDED to 
go get her skates right away! hehehe
