Let It Snow. Please?

First week of December and not one snowflake sits on our front lawn, or anywhere else in Ottawa for that matter. We had a few early morning flurries on Monday this week, but it disappeared almost as fast as it arrived. Isabelle claims that it "turned into green stuff", which apparently means it melted into the grass. As she headed down the street to our house after school, she not only laments the lack of snow, she also admonishes all of our neighbours for not having Xmas lights on their houses. Surprisingly, only one other house appeared to have joined us in the spirit of the season, until tonight when 2 more have decided to make cursory efforts. Come on people, the big day is only 3 weeks away!

Big weekend ahead with not only the Santa Claus parade but the Canada Post kid's Christmas party! Isabelle and Oliver will get their fill of jolly old Saint Nick over the next couple of days. Let's hope they make a good impression and find their way onto the Nice list. Safe to say that 99% of the time their parents like their chances.

New house construction, right in our living room!
