snow...

In the category: things you never thought you would hear yourself say:
"Get that Giraffe out of the ice cream!!"


We have been blessed with a about 7 or 8 inches of snow. Nothing like this dusting you see in the picture above. Naturally, since Belgium owes about 2 snow plows for the entire country, it's a royal mess. No school closings or delayed openings here though. That kind of practice is unheard of here.
The kids have been enjoying the snow, but it is very cold. A humid, biting cold. The high for today was 23 (fahrenheit). We still ride our bikes to school en other places, although Monday when we had the most snow fall ift was more walking then riding.
We are not really prepared for this cold, no snow boots or anything like that. But many we will have to invest in some, since the forecast says it's going to stay the same till at least sunday. Don't want my kids to freeze their little toesies off.
