Due to the huge snowstorm we had Wednesday/Thursday we've cancelled our trip to Oyen to visit Aaron's grandma. It would have been nice to see her and maybe take the boys down to Empress to see the horses but the roads are too slippery so we'll just hang out around the city this weekend.
Auntie Heather also cancelled her road trip to Edmonton so she'll probably be making an appearance tomorrow to go tobogganing and hang out with us. We made sure we've got 3 toboggans so all the adults can join in the fun, although lately Joey's acting like Mr. Independance and wants to go solo, which is fine except he can't haul the toboggan back up the hill on his own.
The boys spent a good part of the day outside in the snow, mostly making tracks in the backyard and using their little sand shovels to throw snow at each other...it's a good thing they don't know about snowballs yet! I'm sure that'll come next year.
We're having the big debate over finishing our basement or not. It's turned into a major decision, because we're still waffling over 2 or 3+ kids. With 2 kids our house is big enough for the next 10 or so years but with 3 kids we'd have to either put Alex and Joey in bunkbeds in one bedroom (which would probably be a huge disaster) or move to a bigger house so then there's no point spending the time/effort/money into finishing off a house we're not going to be staying in. I think we'll probably start doing some basement work like wiring and that but will leave all major construction (like a bathroom) until we've made a more definite plan.
Until then Mom and Dad will just have to sleep in the corner of the basement with the camoflauge headboard compliments of Aaron's decorating.
