ugh…. it’s Yucky outside…..

Yesterday we got a bit of snow and today we have freezing rain… it is supposed to get colder outside so that means that the sheet of ice that has covered everything is going to just get harder and more slippery…. Many schools are closed and I decided that I am not driving today….

I wanted to go to the health food store to get some vitamin B6 and some loose red raspberry leaf for tea…. but I guess it will have to wait… and that also means that Xavier is not going to Daycare today…

He only has three days left (including today)….

On tuesday, hile picking him up I had a small conversation with a few of the daycare providers….

They seemed a bit weirded out by the thought that I was leaving the decision to go or not up to a 3.5 year old… but I told them that it is his life and we have to respect what he wants…

Though it will be an adjustment for all of us… Xavier no longer going, Me having less one on one time with Colin, Colin having less time to play by himself… I am happy that Xavier will be at home with me…

I will be happy that I won’t have to wake him up mornings that he would rather sleep, I am happy that there will no longer be a struggle to get him dressed and make sure that he eats before having to leave….

Anyways… today is just a yucky day….

Here are some pics….

Finally…

The last few days have been gorgeous so we have been playing outside quite a bit… Before now it was either too cold and we couldn’t stay out for more then a few minutes, or it was too warm and the snow was just too wet and slushy… However, the temp has been perfect the last few days….

When we bought the house two years ago… (OMG it has already been two years!!) Anyways… we bought the house in the dead of Winter (Feb 22nd) and when we first visited the house we noticed something that we thought was pretty cool…. there is a door on our patio that leads nowhere…. the pool used to be next to the patio but they had moved it a while back…

In the summer we keep the door closed and locked, but in the winter we push all the snow that accumulates on the patio (and it is a big patio) out the door and we can make a hill of snow….

Last year Xavier wasn’t to interested to play outside much but this year he is having fun… especially on the hill…

Of course I had to take pics… and of course they are more on Flickr….
