It's official. I'm done with winter. Unfortunately winter is not done with us.
Even Emma is showing signs of wanting winter gone. Only today she was mentioning that she is wanting to play in her sandbox and swim in an outdoor pool. Le sigh.
On Friday we received a good old dumping of snow. It was snowing so hard I could hardly see a stoplight just one block away from me!
Of course, being a hardy Winnipegger (as opposed to a stay indoors and hide Torontonian LOL, jk), we still went to our baby group. After being there for only two hours, there was at least 5cm of snow my van! Driving definitely was slow going, but we did manage to get gas, bring Emma to preschool and pick up Richard after his dentist appointment.
Richard took over the driving, we got some fast food for lunch from A&W, I like their Swiss Veggie Burger, although you usually have to wait extra time for it to be ready.
Richard then dropped my off at the walk-in clinic. I had a headache for one week already by that point. I think because of the snow storm, the place was virtually empty. I was in and out in about 15 minutes. I actually had to wait longer for my prescription to be filled! LOL.
I walked over to the Salvation Army and picked up a few good deals for the kiddies. Afterward I walked over to Emma's school where Richard and the boys met up with us.
We were supposed to go Le Centre Crée for Soirée Pijama (Pajama movie night), but we decided to stay home. It's on a small side street and with all the snow, we figured it would be too tough to find parking.
All week since then we've been stuck in a deep freeze, today it finally warmed up, but the kids all have a cold so we're still indoors. Hopefully the weather will still stay nice at least for a few days.
I miss going to the park and I miss doing picnics.
