The Deep Freeze

The mercury has been sinking here in Ottawa the past few days, in fact we woke this morning to minus 26 temperatures with a windchill that took us further down to minus 36?! With canal skating clearly off the agenda for us (although there were several brave, or shall we say educationally challenged, souls that did lace up the skates), we felt it best to stay indoors where our exposed skin wouldn't freeze in less than a minute. Aside from a trip out for the kids to go and celebrate Isabelle's friend Isla's fourth birthday, we stayed close to home but still had lots of fun. Isabelle introduced Oliver to the many riches of the dress-up box and the family had an impromptu dance party after dinner that everyone enjoyed. Glee, Katy Perry, Taio Cruz, Justin Bieber, Isabelle loves them all. Now the kids are both snug and warm in their beds, ready for another dreaded Monday morning. We have minus 32 as the forecasted morning temperature so forgive us if we aren't too excited to wake up when the alarm rings tomorrow!

Might be cold outside, but warm enough for ice cream in here!


Cozy and warm, dreaming of Valentine's already!?

Oliver clearly needs to play dress up with Olan. He has a vast selection of male roles to choose from-fireman, engineer, prince,jedi,ninja, etc!!!
