Today marked the end of a cold snap we've been having this week, with temperatures in the -teens. (Thankfully, temps didn't get as cold or last as long as poor Sherri and Adam had to deal with in Alaska recently.) We'd received a lot of snow along with the colder weather, but weren't able to enjoy it due to safety reasons. So, today, we suited up and took advantage of a balmy 21 degrees to play in the fluffy white stuff. Unfortunately, it was still too dry for fun things like making snowmen and forts, but we made the best of it and made trails through our backyard instead. Believe it or not, it was Ian's first time of really playing in the snow. We never got much snow in Bloomington, and because of that, we didn't buy him a snowsuit until this year. But now that he has one and we live in a place that does get snow, we'll be spending much more time outside this winter! (Hallelujah!)
The rest of day has been spent putting together a workable budget for this year, watching lots of basketball, and eating a yummy lunch of leftover curried carrot soup and hummus/red pepper sandwiches. It's so nice to have real Saturdays again. Now that we're done going through crazy transitions (for now, at least...you never know what's going to come up), we've been able to settle into a more normal routine and actually enjoy our weekends. It feels so good!
