BRR it's cold!! (and preggo update)

-30 was the temp this morning when Salem walked off to school! It was only -29 when I took Kaden. And it didn't warm up too much after that! Not looking for a warm up for a few days either. Which stinks because we're getting another 3-5 inches of snow tonight and being so cold, no way will I let the kids outside in those temps!

They were outside the other night and made their snow hill into a crawl through fort. Keith even fits through it. Not me, I'll get stuck in the middle, lol. They broke the bikes out too and were trying to ride them through the HUGE snow piles. Didn't work too well, I think they ended up having more fun plowing into them and getting stuck than wanting to ride through them. I've got pics from their fun in the snow. I'll post those tomorrow.

Our squirrel is getting quite greedy!! It used to be just Mr. Fatso and now he has brought a friend along to fest on the corn so they go through it twice as fast. The one will eat an ear of corn in 2 hours, max! We keep the corn in a 5 gallon bucket on the porch, the lid off a tad to keep air so the corn doesn't mold. I caught Fatso yesterday taking ears of corn out of the bucket and burying it in the snow around the yard!! I saw him take 3 ears before I yelled out for him to stop, and I put the lid on a bit more with a heavy object on top to weigh it down. I watched him come back and try to knock the lid off and get into the bucket for more corn. Stinker!!! Now there is no more corn in the bucket and he's out of luck! I'll go buy more, only because it's so humorous to watch them!


Had an OB appt today. Everything's looking good. So far it's been much nicer than last time. Different small issues, but nothing big. Got a bunch of pictures from today. The ultrasounds techs are so cool at this office, they love checking the twins out! Baby A was being a princess posing for all the pics and covering her brother's face everytime we tried getting a pic of him. He seemed tired as we caught him yawing a bunch. Could be because he was up bright and early kicking, darn him!

Last night Baby A was kicking a bunch and Kaden was around so I had him put his hands on my belly to feel her kicking. He sat here for about 10 minutes feeling her, smiling huge everytime he felt her. Too bad she calmed down a bit and it was bedtime for him. Salem was more interested in catching snowflakes on Webkinz world, which is what I was doing as well.

Otherwise we're all doing fine here. We'll see what tonight brings weather wise!
