First Snow... 37* and I'm not walking in that!

Our first snow. (Tuesday Sept. 22)

Taking the kiddo's to school you wouldn't believe all the folks I saw out walking their dogs. We have some pretty tough people up here that don't let a little thing like 34*, windy and snowing slow them down.

But thats cold enough for me to shake my head vigorously "NO" at walking outside today. I'm getting my strength back and have no intention of back sliding and getting sick again just to walk outside. So later I'll jump on the treadmill and do a nice walk in the basement.

The dinner menu for Tuesday night featured "Gumbo"! All the kids lit up with approval that morning when I told them fresh cornbread and Gumbo were in store for them that evening. Wish I'd had some of that great Cantaloupe still around but the kids ate it all for dinner the other night. It was delicious!


On our walk this morning, Jen and I, stumbled upon this guy lying down relaxing. He got up when Miley caught wind of him and showed interest. Again, another large guy. I'm taking my camera with me on all the walks now. You just never know what you might see...

The two videos below are of the kids doing their routine "Snow Dance". First they have to run around the house 3 times with ice cubes in napkins.

Then you flush the ice cubes and do a dance that you make up, and then you put on your p.j.'s inside out and backwards. Oh well. The joys of childhood and, No the dance didn't work. They still had school the following day. Better luck next time guys!
