At 9:30 Friday morning, the thermometer read 6 degrees. We tapped it. We stared at it from different angles. Then we looked at each other and decided to wait...
At 11:30, it was up to 11 degrees. Didn't even bother checking to see if it needed tapping that time. We realized we are ill-equipped to venture any farther afield than the wood pile in this weather, so we opted to delay the hike and instead fired up the hot chocolate and read books.
So, in all, it was a great day. We got the living room above 64 around noon, and that necessitated a party. Jase had already begun partying the minute we decided to punt.
Who doesn't love a good party? So that was nice.
Today, it was lovely. But by today, we needed more wood, so that worked out well all around. The woodpile is stacked and the porch is full, now. That leaves tomorrow to play outside and enjoy the relatively balmy weather (supposed to get into the 50's!) We'll hike then.
I visited a friend this afternoon (book party! Love those things!) and upon my return, EmilyGirl showed me her latest Big Joy: she lost a tooth! She loses teeth so slowly that when one finally comes out, we're all vaguely surprised to learn she'd still had it. If this one makes it under the pillow, it will be the first tooth that hasn't been swallowed/lost/irretrievably damaged before it could be redeemed for cash. She's pretty excited. We've got two and a half hours until bedtime and it's still accounted for. Odds are looking good!
Kiss those babies!

Glad you delayed the hike!
Too cold for me. Hot chocolate and snuggles suit me just fine. :D
Hope the toothfairy visits EmilyGirl. Post a pic of her cute smile if you get a chance.
Our Jonathan was never once visited by the tooth fairy. He'd have a whole mouth full of teeth so loose the poor kid couldn't even chew anymore, but he'd never wiggle them out. Every one was pulled by the dentist, and if I have to pay for it, the tooth fairy just isn't get in on the action, too. :-)
