Like most of the Pacific Northwest, we have snow on the ground right now. Mountain Home gets snow every winter, but never more than a few inches or maybe a foot at most. It's very, very dry snow that doesn't stick together. Great for driving, horrible for snowball fights and snowmen!
I can't be stuck in the house for more than 48 hours, so we bundled up this morning and went for a snow run. It's actually quite exhilarating knowing that you're probably the only person besides the construction guys to be outside for miles. Jack is laughing at my face mask that makes me look like Darth Vadar in this one.
Don't worry, Mother, Jack has about 10 layers on underneath his snowsuit, and he also sucks on his pacifier to warm that part of his face. Plus, the windshield helps a lot. He's usually asleep within minutes.So, everybody, your instructions for today are these: go for a run in the snow!
Yes Mom was very concerned about Jack freezing to death when she saw the picture. Of course, she is the woman who put clothes on Higgins and Halie tonight before making them sleep in the garage under the heat lamp.

No snow running here, it's too slick with ice! I did 3.25 miles on the TM today while watching a part of Fiddler On The Roof. I love that show! Glad to hear you bundle up my grandson against the bitter cold elements. You didn't fall off the turnip truck yesterday. LYB
ReplyDeleteNo running her at all - just eating myself into oblivion. Eek - with Hawaii on the horizon I am in big trouble:)
ReplyDeleteLoved your Christmas card and it will definitely be one that you look at in 20 years and say, "wow I was so cute, skinny and young!"
