Mild Days

The weather has been weird. It hasn't been cold. There's been barely any snow. And it rains. A LOT. Last week, Scott even got sent home one day because it was just too rainy to work. I sit here on Monday morning typing this knowing that it's going to rain again all day today. I think I'm ready for snow!

I don't mind the mild temperatures. Actually, they're great! But the rain is getting a little bit ridiculous. Without a vehicle during the day, it makes it hard for the kids and I to get out, so we go out even for brief periods in between the rain! Last week we had a little skiff of snow, so we headed over to Zehrs to pick up some pictures.

Off goes Logan!

And Jacob. (In retrospect, they should have been wearing rubber boots rather than snow boots...they're socks were pretty wet!)

Walking with his snowsuit on, he needs his arms for balance even more than usual.

"Come on, Jacob!"

Not sure what the tongue is all about.

Sliding down the pole like a fireman...


All the way down!

We checked to see if there were any horses in the barn in the mall parking lot. There weren't, but much fun was had PRETENDING to be horses.

There's a barn in the mall parking lot? With horses? Is this for buggies, like Mennonites? And there are enough to warrant a barn??

Sarah,
Yes, there is. You're right, it's for horse and buggies. We live in an area where there are lots of Mennonites who travel this way.

I've also noticed one at Home Depot. There's also a hitching post at the local child development centre.

Logan loves checking to see if there are horses. We are walking through the mall parking lot very often since we catch the bus at the mall. We manage to see a horse or two once every few weeks at least.
