2. My cousin noted on Facebook that cold snaps are a great time to defrost the freezer, (because you can just throw all your food outside) so on Monday, when Mark got the e-mail that there was no work for him that day, guess what he volunteered to do?! LOVE my guy! Any guesses at how old the roast is that we found?
3. Why is it more appealing to sleep in than to go to bed early?
4. I've started scrapbooking last summer's trip to the East Coast...sigh! What great memories! This is one of my favorite shots. It just epitomizes the time we had to just kick back and have FUN as a family!
5. Speaking of feet...this year I needed to buy new winter boots. And have spent some time in sports and various footwear stores. I've learned 2 things. Yes, I need more than one pair of winter boots. A knocking around, in and out of the car, in and out of stores pair; and a tobogganing, hiking, playing in the deep snow pair. The other, more important tidbit that I picked up is: SOCKS are almost as, if not more important than boots. Wool socks. And yes, they come in more styles than the grey ones with white toes that always leave my feet itchy. Unfortunately, they cost a pretty sum...but oh, so worth skipping (a few) Starbucks for!
6. We had an exchange student from Finland stay with our family when I was in Grade 12. She bought the most flimsy pair of winter boots, and my dad commented that she'd never keep her feet warm. She told us, "Boots don't keep your feet warm, socks do." Guess it takes a while for things to sink in.
7. My last foot topic. Our baby girl turned 7 on January 27. She no longer has tiny feet. But they are still precious, and still fit in the palm of her Daddy's hand (almost).

Although I feel 'geeky' at times with my boots, my one pair of Columbia boots take me into the deep snow, shopping (heavy to walk long, though), etc., and to church (where I take them off and put shoes on, which makes sense anyway because boots like coats on in a warm place help you overheat thus making outside feel colder with said same items). Fashionable? No. Warm? Yes. And I'm due new socks; where did you find the nice woolen ones? :)
Got my socks at Bushtukah, in Westboro. I tried real hard to be practical, and although I have been known to run up town without makeup on, I still can't bring myself to wear Sorel's to church. Still working on that pride thing.
