BRRRRRRRRRRRRR

Yes that's right it is freezing here in Illinois. The high for today was -2 with a windchill that made it feel like -22. The low for today was -23 with a windchill of -35! BRR! All the local schools have been closed yesterday, today and tomorrow because of the cold. We bundled up with several layers when we HAD to go outside.

Poor Tater only stays out just long enough to do his business and then is ready to come back in the house. The only problem with him being so cold is that he is now a Heat Hog! Whenever the heat kicks on he goes and lays in front of or on a vent! Smart move for such a goofy dog.

I have been having a blast staying home playing with Killian. We have lots to do together. Mostly, she takes all her clothes from her laundry basket and throws them on the floor. Then she moves to her toy rack and takes all those out. Somehow during all of this she takes the remotes for the TV and DVD player, and my cell phone and hides them in her room. When there is only a tiny bit of floor still showing she pulls all of her extra blankets out from her drawer under the crib. Today she learned how to empty Taters water dish and play in the mess. Tater just sat there starring at her trying to figure out what she was doing.

After I picked up her room for the 100th time she moved into the living room. She was getting a bit tired so her playing was a bit less destructive. She loves to dance with music! She loves her piano and her book that play lots of songs for her. When the TV is on and a commercial or show has music she instantly starts dancing! She is so cute!

The day continues like this with some naps, some lunch and very brief moments of sitting still! So it might be VERY cold outside but we keep nice and toasty inside!
