Well, the rain finally arrived early this morning. Unfortunately it has been freezing rain pretty much all day so things have just gotten a nice thick layer of ice on them. I took a picture of our patio chairs this morning - the seats were completely buried in snow. We knew the ice was only going to get worse so Allison & I headed out right after breakfast. We left Heidi inside and as you can tell, she did NOT want us to forget her. Eventually Mark did bundle her up and send her out. And it was not her favorite thing despite her passionate banging on the back door (with a Lego, of course!)
She looks like she's having fun. if we kept her sheltered from the pelting rain she'd look like she was enjoying herself.
We did build a snowman. And Heidi thought it was pretty exciting....
but by the time it was done so was she. This picture fits the moment perfectly!
Allison insisted we found at least eyes, a nose and a mouth for her snowman (she has a few different snowman books so she is an expert on how to make them). It was almost as tall as she is!
Mark's idea for beating cabin fever today was to get one of our small tents out for the girls to play in. They loved it. Heidi thought it was one HUGE game of peek-a-boo. Allison was inside the tent so there was always a surprise if she looked in and we were outside so there was always a surprise if she looked out!
Oh - and Heidi learned to drink out of a straw today. Courtesy of Allison's 'camping' bottle.
She isn't really sleeping but she is cute! While the girls had rest/nap time I headed out to capture some pictures of the ice....this is the worst ice storm I've been around for in Oregon. Tonight we are thankful for a warm house, electricity (to watch Olympics!) and a well stocked fridge/pantry. And we're hopeful the temperatures do actually rise tomorrow and we can venture a little further out!
