Now that we have a break in the cold weather hubby decided to take the older kids for a nature walk!  The -25C windchill’s we’ve had the last few weeks are just to cold for little ones.  Well it’s to cold for ME to! They had a wonderful time looking at the deer and finding different tracks.  Afterward it was time for hot chocolate!

It’s a big change from our fall nature walk you can also see one of our winter walks from last winter.

This is a sulfur spring, it’s a really interesting nature study area.  In the summer because of the sulfur water bugs don’t lay their eggs there.  It also runs year round with out freezing.

Kid’s found some mouse tracks!

Would you like to join us for a winter drive? Hubby put together a video of some winter senery we filmed along with music he wrote.  Hope you enjoy!

Last Friday we took out traditional light drive.  Each year around Christmas time we bundle up and head to town.  We take a slow drive around letting the little ones see all the lights.  It’s a wonderful sound to hear their excitement.  Two year olds are especially bursting with excitement.  It’s the first time they can really see and enjoy the lights.

Sunday, yup you guessed it, my birthday.   I had a very nice day.  Hubby got up early with the little ones so I could sleep in.  He made a wonderful breakfast for us.  Then I spend the afternoon making fleece blankets.  Latter on he made my favorite supper.  Tomato pasta, garlic bread and caesar salad.

Well I’m late getting this posted.  A few weeks ago my oldest dd (5 years old) started to learn to crochet.  She’s been busy making lots of chains.  She’s so happy with her self and can’t wait until she can learn to make some thing “real”.
