I have to admit it was always something that caused knots in my stomach over the last few months.... a growing dread and fear of the famous Canadian winter!
hailing from a country that rarely drops below 0 Degrees, and being able to count on my hand the amount of times i have seen snow!! Ontario and Winter were words that = fear!!
so with apprehension each week i checked the forecast... it was like a ticking time bomb.... as we skipped into October, trudged through Nov.. still all clear!! the knot growing each day........
so we had December and the days which we were previously watching became an hourly watch!!
As my kids woke each morning........ going 'is it snowing yet??' the excitement building by the day!
Finally it happened (and if I'm honest i think i was just as excited as the kids!!) we woke one morning to a winter wonderland............ it was just WHITE! and beautiful!!
the world in which we had gone to bed in was gone and replaced by a beautiful sheet of snow!
Now a month later, we are old pros at tobogganing, we have embraced the ski slopes and most importantly we have survived -20's ......... and life has just carried on as normal!!
well normal might be a bit much................ being the hypothermic person i am at the best of times!! i have discovered a new talent :) its called the 'how much clothes can you get on together' game :) i have a wardrobe of hoodies in sizes S, M and L (so i can wear them all together)
i can't remember the last time i put on a pair of jeans without the old faithful long johns!!
So to the Canadian winter......... i say 'Whoo hoo' :) keep it coming!!
