Baby, it's cold outside!

I had to take a picture of this because I was afraid no one would believe me. That is Back Seat Girl, eating her lunch yesterday. In her hand is a leaf of some kind of purple lettuce. She wanted to try it after watching me make myself a salad. It got her stamp of approval: "I love this black salad!"



This morning, I woke up to find this window and this blanket, which had been sitting on top of the couch up against the window, frozen together. Do you think we might need new windows? Sounds like a problem for any potential new owners to me!

Obviously it is cold here and will be all weekend. Bitterly cold. Too cold to take out small children unless it is absolutely necessary (say, like a Super Bowl party or something like that). We have plans to stay in our house with plenty of food and movies and a space heater (which was the reason I blew a fuse in the kitchen this morning). Driver is making a stop at the grocery store on his way home so we have supplies and I can cook up a storm all weekend. Mainly because the oven helps heat up the house. I think older houses have "charm" and "character".
