Winter in Minnesota


Brigit spent most of her time outside trying to do what she likes to do in the summer - sidewalk chalk. After a few tries and being only mildly successful at getting anything to appear, she decided to go and help Hanna and Xander with their snow fort....after a quick and very short ride on her trike...

When it came to the snow fort, there wasn't much for snow - at least anything that would stick together. They resorted to the hard packed snow chunks that the plow pushes up. It has been just too cold to get any good snow this year. We haven't even been able to build a snowman without creating the snowball on the spot instead of rolling it around. Needless to say, since there wasn't much in the lines of progress with this method, the snow fort project has been postponed ... until the next outing or the next sticky snowfall, whichever comes first.

Our winter is looking like that lately here too. I'm so tired of the snow and cold that I could scream!
