Well, I don't think this week has been so bad even though we've been snowed in! We have our family, and electricity and running water.. what more could you ask for :) We haven't played in the snow too much since I don't want to take Eli out in it for very long, but Cody was off work yesterday so we got out there some! Cody and Ansel built a little snow fort so they could have their "zero heroes" camp out, (and it got to -7 degrees.. so it was definitely below zero!) I guess there is a scouting badge called zero heroes. Cody's going to have Ansel so ready for scouting by the time he gets there. He's always showing him a new knot to tie or something fun to do. He's such a good dad. Anyway, Cody told him about this and he was so excited. They made it through the night with only one phone call to me, because Ansel wanted a pillow, and since the fort was in our front yard. I ran one out to him :) I asked if he was cold and he said no, and that he was warm. Cody's a pro at this kind of stuff though and they had good sleeping bags so I wasn't too worried. I considered doing it too, but I think Eli's just a bit too young for it yet! I don't think he would have liked being confined in a sleeping bag either. Cody had to wake Ansel up in the morning so he could get to work and the first thing Ansel asked was.. "where's my badge?" haha.. I think it will be a fun memory for him!
