Hello, this is some random person sneaking onto Momma’s blog. She does not know I am here. I took some pictures of her at Ox Bow Park doing something strange with a child… SLEDDING! She had fun and laughed a lot. I think she did not see me do it. I hope she does not see this blog post. Signing off, Adrian.

Playing with Fire

I can not remember the last time we played like this. It was fun and we need to do it again soon!

Reflection

The snow is gone and the weather is warm again. It is a great day to go exploring.

Cold Day, Boiling Water

I am not sure what the temperature was this morning, but it was cold! I know that is is -8 right now with a wind chill of -17, but this morning was even colder.

Yesterday, we were supposed to beat the cold weather recorded for the city, but I forgot to check. I know with the wind chill it was supposed to get to -51, but I do not know the actual temperature for the day.

How to Spoil a Momma

Make a batch of cookies. Brew a pot of tea. Write a love note. Claim you have a good book to read. Give kisses. Disappear so Momma can enjoy her book too.

Eclipse

Even though the eclipse tonight was around midnight, I stayed up to watch it. Megan had asked to see it when I told her about it, so I woke her up. Mark, Andrea and Adrian bundled up to come outside too for a few minutes.

Even though it was a very late night and very cold out, I was thankful that the sky was so clear and we were able to see it.

Ice Candles

Tonight was a perfect evening to show our ice candles off. If I can find more candles, we hope to do more tomorrow night.

Family Sledding

Because of the lack of snow this year we have not been sledding often. Not knowing if we would get more snow this year, we took the kids sledding on a weekend. We do not usually go in the middle of the day either, but we wanted to try. There were a few people on the hills, so we played for awhile.

After sledding for awhile, we enjoyed a walk in the woods. It was a great family afternoon.
