Perhaps because I am home and don't need to drive the snow has been light. Perhaps because I am dying to play I the snow with my kids, we haven't had any. I have to admit Christmas shopping was easy without the snow, but it sure didn't feel Christmassy!
Now it is almost February, and even though it is Canada, and winter can happen anytime between October and May, part of me knows that it is essentially ending. The kids are disapointed in the lack of snow. I don't think the Boy even wore his snowpants. I am glad I purchased them nice and early this year!
Many people would disagree with me: they like the lack of snow and the lack of shoveling that goes with it. If we had more snow I could definately rationalize my husband purchasing a snowblower! Which he has wanted to do ever since we moved into this house.I noticed that our front bay window was leaking. At the time it was freezing rain out, and water was dripping down from the top of the window frame. When the Husband got home he cleaned out the eaves trough and that seemed to have solved the problem. We recalled that he never cleaned the eaves this year, last year he did this when we put up the Christmas lights. However this year we did not put up the lights so the eaves never got emptied. I will be sure to remember that this needs to be done next year!
I spent a nice day with the Girl and Baby. The Boy was off at camp and the Husband was working. When he returned home from work he packed up and went off to camp to spend the one night with the Boy. In the afternoon the Girl wanted to paint and then after dinner she chose a movie that we watched upstairs in my bedroom. She chose Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire.
