Bearing in mind that it is actually technically autumn for another three weeks.
*How my car won't start, because we didn't plug it in. And then how it still won't start after being plugged in over night.
*How the back of my head hurts from the cold when I'm out walking, because the elastic in my toque is all worn out.
*How getting dressed to go outside now takes approximately six hours (give or take...)
Okay, but now some things that I actually love about a Manitoba winter...
*How everything is so pretty and white.
*How tomorrow is my birthday.
*How all the Christmas songs about snow actually mean something here.
*How a hot chocolate or cider is essentially mandatory after being outside for any length of time.

Some blog-business - -Apparently NOBODY cares about the Blue Bombers losing the Grey Cup. For my American readers, a little translation...
Winnipeg Blue Bombers = a team in the Canadian Football League
Grey Cup = CFL equivalent of the Super Bowl
Some Monkey-Business - -
He is walking and talking like a crazy man. He says well over 20 words now (we lost track around 20). He is so much fun and has such a great sense of humour. He likes the snow ("no") so far, but he hasn't played in it very much yet, due to the ridiculously cold temperature. We are getting a little bored though, so if you have any suggestions for activities to do with a 13 1/2 month old, let me know...

I'd love to have that snow here. It just rains and gets icy and icky. Happy Birthday tomorrow!
I had no idea what the BLue Bombers were. I guess I knew there was a CA Football league, but knew nothing about it.
At that age and older, DANCE PARTY is a super fun thing to do when you're stuck inside. Turn on some music you both like, and dance like idiots.
Happy Birthday! I had it on the calendar and everything and STILL forgot to send a card. Drat!
2 c. flour
1/2 c. salt
3/4 c. water
Stir, then knead, the make hand/footprint ornaments for the Grandparents. Make a hole to tie a hangy ribbon through. Bake at 300 for an hour, dry for a couple days, then coat with mod-podge. Voila!
(We're actually making them as I type.)
*I was too sore about Wpg losing to comment. We did watch the whole game though. At least he tried.
It was -35 today. MINUS THIRTY FIVE. That is too cold for anything - I had to be outside for tiny little spurts of time (walking through a short parking lot to the car) and I got a bit of FROSTBITE on my hand.
I don't even know what you are talking about. Plugging in the car? A toque? It is like you are speaking a different language!
I joke--I actually know what a toque is--because Beck blogged about it recently.
