This has been a week bookended by birthdays and full of brrrr. Oh my good god, is winter not over YET?
Saturday was warm and cozy inside the house as Simon celebrated his 9th birthday party with a few good friends.
These horses were from Manotick’s shiverfest a few weeks back but I didn’t get around to posting them at the time. I love the frost on their faces, poor things!
As I mentioned earlier in the week, I’ve been playing with ideas for new blog banners on and off for quite a while now. This was a failed attempt:
But then I finally stumbled in to what I really wanted. Once I had the idea down, it didn’t take me long to put these together:
Did I mention it was cold this week? This month? Seriously, has this not been a particularly cold, snowy winter? Poor Lucas fell asleep in the car with his hands shoved deep into his pockets for warmth.
I got so sick of the cold that with 15 cm of snow in the forecast I went hunting through my archives looking for signs of spring and warmth. A little over the top, maybe, but that’s how I’m feeling about warm spring sunshine right about now!
And then, Lucas turned FIVE!
The nice thing about birthday season is that once it’s done in mid-March, spring really is just around the corner. We’re getting there!
