So, here it is. The most dreaded season of the year. Winter!!!
I tried to deny it for as long as I could, but it is no longer possible. I guess I have to accept that it's here and won't go away for a looooong time. At least the Rocksta is loving it and can't get enough of the snow. He looks a little depressed every time he gets called inside and spends his days lying in front of the door, so he won't miss somebody opening the doorway to freedom.
We have been sitting in the house for 4 long days last week because it just kept snowing like you wouldn't believe. Well, Adrian still went to work but he's a real Canadian, and a little snow won't stop him from going anywhere. It takes him about two hours longer to get out of the house though, and the snow-blower he bought last year certainly has been a smart investment.
Here he is taking a little break in his Igloo.
I was trying to go buy some chicken feed 3 days in a row and backed out each time because the snow squalls just wouldn't stop, and I've got two small children in the car with me. Thankfully it has stopped snowing long enough for me to get it done yesterday, so the sistas won't starve for a little while longer. Adrian has started building the winter coop for the them today, in hopes of them being more comfortable so they might start laying again. Poor things don't seem all too happy out there. We're hoping to move them into their new home either this weekend or the next. Anyways, not much has happened last week and everything has kind off come to a standstill, due to the crazy amount of snow that has been dumped on us. On the upside, Noah got to built his first snowman with his daddy and was a very happy boy. They were out there for a long time and Noah is loving the snow. Adrian showed him how to make snow-angels and pulled him around the yard on his sledge. It was so much fun to watch them. It's very uplifting to watch the world through the eyes of a child. Everything is just so exciting and fun and new to them.
We've bought some snow shoes a while ago, so hopefully we get to go on a few winter hikes this year since I was pretty much stuck in the house all last winter, due to being pregnant with Mia and big as a house. I've got high hopes that this winter is going to be better and more exciting than the last one and will try to stay positive. And one more good thing about the winter is that work usually slows down and Adrian gets to spend more time with his family, which makes everyone happy. Hope everybody is staying warm and safe out there and has lots of family cuddles in front of a warm fire. Talk to you guys soon.
