Oh, what do you do in the wintertime, when all the world is white?
Do you watch weird parades, or stay in for days,
or point at the snow in the sky?
Is that what you do? So do I!
Oh what do you do in the wintertime, when all the world is white?
Do you swim in the pool, 'though the outside is cool,
or spin on the counter up high?
Is that what you do? So do I!
Although it was 18 degrees out, Ally was invited to go swimming with her little friend Ashlyn on Friday. We are grateful for indoor pools and free passes to the local racquetball club. Ally was very excited to wear her swimsuit (she loves everything Mickey/Minnie/Donald/Pluto now) and to dress her babies for the outing, too. She jumped into the pool from the side, kicked her legs while "swimming", and didn't complain too much when she got splashed in the face. Ally loved being in the water with Ashlyn; we'll make a little mermaid out of my baby yet!
I finally gave in and bought my very first shovel on Saturday. On Sunday, I used it to clear 4 inches of snow off our driveway. The snows in Provo were always cleared by the apartment complex, so I don't think I'd used a shovel since high school!
Although it looks like they only believe in plowing the very major roads around here --even the bypass was untouched-- we managed to slip and slide ourselves to church and back. Once we were home safe and sound again, we did some present wrapping, stocking stuffing, and basic Christmas re-decorating. Ally also helped keep things merry and bright by favoring us with some championship spinning and dancing. I've noticed that little girls can never keep still when wearing such frilly dresses.
