Still Here!
We are still here, enjoying life. I don't have much to report. We have had lots of cold weather, and I find that the more we hole ourselves up inside the grumpier we become. We need the fresh air and natural elements. For this reason, it has to be REALLY cold to keep us in for the day. We bundle up and stay active sledding, walking, running, snow shoeing, skating, laughing....
My little winter boy. He loves the snow and cold so much and plays outside constantly. When he starts to get testy or stir crazy I get him bundled up and send him out. He fights with me sometimes, but once he is out he is at peace!
This fuzzy dark picture doesn't even begin to cover the adorable image of my smiley pink cheeked little Eskimo girl. :) I wish you could see her through my eyes, but I know you never could. She doesn't prefer winter, but she still has fun anyway. She tells me every day that she wishes it was summer so that she could go to the beach and eat ice cream. I feel the same way but I try to stay positive about every season. We could never wish any of our four beautiful seasons to go away. They bless our lives so richly. :)
And...these orange kittens are more work than I imagined they would be. Most of it is pretty typical of kitten stuff, but I get very frustrated. They break things, knock over plants and spill plant soil all over the ground, poop in it, wipe their poopy butts on the wall, ruin everything (my least favorite would be my scratched up 1000 thread count sheets grrrr) they wake everyone up EARLY in the morning and we have recently had to close them in our tiny bathroom before they wake everyone up. Our kids typically get up at 5:30ish and we are talking earlier than that by a lot. This is a picture of Fox stuck in our ceiling. He keeps doing it, and we can't even figure out how he is getting in. I have had to remove this tile OVER and OVER again to help him out. They are adorable, but not very smart. I think it will pay off in the spring when they can go outdoors all the time and also when they start killing mice. :) We do love them!

Hi! Love the snowy pics - it looks so beautiful there. I hope it snows here one of these days!
ReplyDeleteGeez, do I know what you mean about needing to get outside...it has been raining here so much and we were indoors for a long time, and I was feeling the grumps settle in. When the sun came out today we played outside for hours and it was awesome.
I hope your kitties grow out of the crazies soon! They sure are cute, but bummer about your sheets!! It's been a while since we had any and I forgot what it's like having kittens. I'll have to show this to my husband next time he tries to talk me into it this winter! ;)
*hugs to you
We are loving life here in beautiful Colorado! Your little eskimo is the sweetest!
ReplyDeleteOh I am glad to find a new post! I love the photos of the sweeties in their furry lined coats. :) I for one, do get to see the utter adorableness of Esther. . .! I love those coats!
ReplyDeleteWe totally get the stir crazy thing too. We have got to get out each day too! These boys.
As for the kitties, gosh. They will definitely grow out of some of that behavior, but some of the other behavior you describe sounds like they may be marking territory- specifically the wiping on the wall thing. Ick.

what sweet little ones out in the winter air. You are so lucky to have that tranquil space.
ReplyDeleteWe are all stir crazy here as it's cold and there is no snow :( hopefully we will get some with this Nor Easter coming.
Love the snow pictures with the kids. They look so sweet bundled up. I certainly don't wish it was summer. The summers are beastly hot out here. Spring though...that would be nice.
ReplyDeleteThat is one cute kitten - but they sound like a horrible pain.
