Brrrr...

I am so thankful that it is warming up.  It has been freezing the past couple of days and I have not liked it at all.  In the afternoons we walk to the bus stop to pick up Caleb.  I suppose we could drive on days that it is -35 but I don't like warming up the van and getting the kids in their car seats just to drive for under 2 minutes and waiting for about 5.  (On the plus side-Caleb's bus driver is never late.  In fact she is usually early.  We are lucky that his stop is at the beginning of the route both in the morning and afternoon.)  If we are out at the time we need to pick him up, we will drive and both Sophie and Silas complain the entire time we are waiting.  So we bundle up and walk.  Of course Sophie and  Silas are nice and bundled in boots, ski pants and all the rest.  And then they get to sit in the nice covered stroller with an extra blanket on top.  So really, it's just me who gets cold.

**As a side note....I know Sophie is too old for a stroller and most of the time she does walk.  But sometimes she likes to sit beside Silas.  Besides, if someone offered to push me around in a stroller, I would probably take them up on the offer. ;)
