It's cold...

for us here on the coast anyway!!! Actually it is not too bad, we haven't had to turn the heat on yet - others may have but we haven't. I always try to go until at least December before we have to pay a crazy hydro bill!!! Anyone who has ever stayed with us can attest to the fact that I have extra slippers, sweaters, comfy blankets and pillows to sink into so it isn't that bad. Well, it isn't that bad for everyone but Auntie V. She brings her touque and scarf to wear around the house. She sits by the fire and wears her slippers with lots of socks. Too funny. Anyway, we were fishing out all of Annie's winter goodies tonight as she tried them on - going to look into the mirror of course. So these photos are for you Auntie V - Shawn wanted to let you know that Annie is also so cold in our house that she has to wear her touque and scarf as well!!!!!!

Actually, when Jaspar was here for his birthday weekend last winter he said that our house was colder than his!!! That really made me laugh because Colleen would love to heat the whole house with a wood stove if she could!!! Really, the hydro bills with the electric heat are at least 2/3rds more. We keep it at 14 Celcius and it is still that much more!!!

Oh and this is Annie BC southwester that she wears out in the rain. You can tell that she was not impressd to be wearing it for photos tonight. Oh and like many little people, she loves to wear Daddy's BIG shoes!!! Annie wanted to go out and it was time for her bath so that might be some of the sadness in her face. She brings us our shoes and says "out" when she wants to get outside. There is no guesswork there!!!
