Let it Snow! (and our newest addition)

We woke up Sunday morning to a wintery wonderland outside.  The kids were chomping at the bit to go play in the white stuff, and we managed to hold them off until 8:30 a.m.  (we thought that sending them out at 7:30 would be cruel and unusual punishment for the neighbours!)

 Aidan felt it was essential to shovel the patio

And of course a snowball fight ensued!

 The snow only lasted for a couple of days, but hopefully it's a good sign for this winter!!

And now onto the newest addition to our family......

No.... not another baby!! (PHEW!!)

Our new 'cat' Snuggles.  Yep, Snuggles the stray cat has stuck around and is officially living outside our house.  She's not allowed in the house, but she comes around everyday for food (Aidan went to the store and bought her a 4lb bag of food!), and snuggling. She is the nicest, gentlest cat I've ever met.  She'll come over an plop herself on you lap and let you pet her for as long as you'd like.  The kids are in love!
 

One of her favourite things is to hop  no the kitchen window-sill and look inside.

Here she is checking things out from her perch - it can be a bit disconcerting at times!!!
