Our White Christmas Came Too Late.

70 degrees the weekend after Christmas and now THIS! Wow has it been cold. The kids (and Chuck) have been home from school for both Thursday and Friday because of our Arctic Clipper. My vocabulary is certainly changing since moving here. I use to think Wind Chill was a made up word. Not a phrase that you need to use in California, but as I walk the kids to school each morning with the snow or freezing rain pelting me in the face I am definitely experiencing the full meaning of wind chill. The kids have been begging to play in the snow but it is too cold!

Hopefully this week it will warm up so there can be more of this


And this

Love it. Yep, it was -11 (-24 windchill) the other morning here and they didn't cancel school. Brr. I think the funniest thing was that it warmed to like 23 today so I walked down the street to our mailbox without a coat. Oh, how perception of 'cold' changes!:) It was swimsuit weather!:) Enjoy that cocoa and keep warm!

the kids look so cute in their winter get-up! i love hot cocoa, but lately it has not been cold enough here for it to taste right. where did the winter go? maybe to march.
