Other weird things this week: the weather. Yesterday it was -19 degrees C (with a wind chill making it feel -30). Today, it is 5 degrees and everything is starting to melt. The forecast said 12 degrees Saturday. Tropical! Anyways, it was nice enough that Jaina and I went out to play in the snow (while it's still here) while Lewis napped this morning. One fun thing we have discovered this winter is that our backyard, having a slight slope down toward the back fence (for drainage purposes) which makes it not quite ideal for putting a kiddie pool out in the summer, is great for sledding in the winter. Jaina rides her toboggan down until she hits our dirt pile or small tree, which is just the perfect ride for a little kid. And perfect too, for the parent who only has to pull her up a small distance for another ride.Another fun thing we have done a couple of times in the past week is babysit cousin Devun for a few hours in between Kristie and Nate's work shifts. Jaina enjoys playing with him (although she is a bit of a mother hen, but at least she is trying to help) and Devun (we think) has enjoyed it too. Lewis was just fascinated with this little toddler walking around our house. Here are some photos:
