HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!

Happy New Year!!!! 2010 has arrived and along with a new year, a new decade and new promises came the snow and cold!

We had been lucky so far with a mild winter, but with a new year came the cold and snow!

I don't mind the snow, it makes everything look so nice and is fun for the kids to play in. But the cold is another story... I don't like the cold at all, but the kids don't seem to mind it! They can play outside in the bitter cold until their cheeks are glowing red, their lips are blue and they are shivering, but they still insist they are warm...the determination to play outdoors beats out the sense of cold. Go figure!

With the winter and new layers of snow come lots of new activities for the kids and for momstown! Tobogganing, skating, building snowman and making snow angels... oh the fun the moms and kids will have!!!

Yep, its still winter!

So the snow fell today, and fell, and fell. Its nice to see white stuff again to get rid of the mud and dirt everywhere, but does SO much of it really need to fall???

January is off to a lazy start with lots to come. I met up with some moms at Lil Kridders yesterday and the kids had lots of energy to burn!!! It was nice to see some new moms and their little ones out too.

As fun as it is to take the kids to these indoor fun centres, I still can't wait for the warm weather, the trips to the park, picnics by the lake, walks along the lakefront, back yard fun, BBQ's, patios....oh I could go on but it still is soooo far off!

So for now us Barrie mamas are going to have to deal with the indoor play, be creative and make the best of the snow and the cold...I mean really, some people never see snow where they live! (ok, now can I convince the hubby to move there???)
