Pics, Lotsa Pics, and Mostly Just Pics

The weird footprints of Princess Many-Toes:



Sarlaac adventure! (on Hoth, apparently)


Sledding fun at the house of friends.



And now, let the craziness (or Swedishness?) ensue!! ^_^





















Yes, we made snow angels, took laps around the house (what must their neighbours think?) and had a generally great time, in spite of our frozen hair. ^_^ And all this in 9.5 degree (F) weather.



And now, I bid you adieu. Sweet dreams. . .

I want snow, dammit! We got teased this past weekend, and I even canceled my plans to go to a museum in DC and then NOTHING! Argh!!!

Bugwit said...

Damn! I was never so crazy when I lived in Minnehaha - running around half naked like that!

Looks fun!

:-)

Jacob said...

There is now way I could do that at half below ten above.

Cool pictures- literally! Is that an Irish setter I spy in a couple of the photos? I grew up with 2 Irish setters in the house- I rode around on them like horses! Good times.
Very neat cats, too. That one looks like a wild cat.

jlmack said...

What great photos! How very Swedish of you! You guys look like you're having so much fun. All I do is study.

Thank you for giving me a life, even if it's only vicarious.

~d said...

CURT AND ROD! HAHAHA
2 guys on the wall...
HAHAHA!

(I said it at Winters' too)

THIS is GLORIOUS! I mother effin LOVE it. Will you promise me, PROMISe me that you will get my fat ass in a swimsuit in winter in the snow?! HOW FLIPPIN COOL!

And I am at my place too...the newer post, trying to answer the guy in my mailbox.

I'm in - for the brandy and hot tub round.

Anonymous said...

Look at those smiles!
Good times, I will stay on the edge of the hot tub and watch :p

ldbug said...

Fun!! I love doing the snow/hot-tub thing!

armalicious said...

You are more brave than I could ever dream of being. Snow in a swimsuit. Dang!

Love the cat yawn pics!

tshsmom said...

Sorry, but I'm nursing a nasty cold, and those swimsuit pics are giving me the creeps right now. I'll just huddle back into my blanket a be a voyeur. ;)

Trundling Grunt said...

Now I understand what they mean when they say that the long winters drive people crazy. In a nice way, of course.

Toby said...

Wow, I've done the snow dive after a soak before, but never when it was this cold.

egan said...

I heard it's cold back there. I love the snow angels in your Speedo. Old Man Winter was later arriving, but sure did show up in force.

Lovely pics C, except the cats. They are scary.

C said...

Cindra - it was a blast! Wish you and your kiddos could have been there. :)

Dawn - well THAT is no fun! Cod without snow is like a life without books - pointless. ^_^

Bug - I dunno. You sound pretty crazy. ;)

Gawpo - This is when you have to ask youself "Is it half below 10 above or half above 9 above?" ^_^

Lizard Princess - He is a VERy cool dog. Our friends got him from a rescue operation. I thought he was an Irish setter (or at least part), too, and so did they until they discovered that he's a Nova Scotia Duck Tolling Retriever He's an EXTREMELY sweet dog. Just lovely! :)

Jaichan - All we were missing was the Swedish Chef! ^_^ As far as having a life - I think you should write a book about your kitchen adventures. i still laugh about that French guy showing you the pineapple - "Is it like looking in mirror?" ^_^

~d - Oooooooh GROOOOOAAAANN! VERY nice. Mollusc loved it, too. ^_^ Did you get the guy in the mailbox? I'll have to go check. :)

Joe - It is truly a good time. Yes - esp the adult beverage in the hot tub part. ^_^

Logo - not the edge! INSIDE!! You would freeze to the edge. ^_^

Ldbug - ah, a fellow insaneasaurus. ^_^

Arm - I was only brave once my core temp had been sufficiently raised (ie I was cooked like a lobster) and the wine had settled in. ^_^

Tsmom - Oh, blah! I should post toasty fire and cocoa pics for you next. ^_^

TG - It wasn't a long drive, trust me. ^_^

Toby - This was a first for me. Our friend was saying that one time when he did it, he dove into a large snowbank and promptly lost his glasses. Argh! That, of course meant digging around in the snow for much longer than originally anticipated. Eeeesh!

Egan - It's all relative. Cold for MI, maybe, but not for WI. Good thing I have that for a comparison. ^_^ I wish I had a Speedo. Maybe someday.

Winters - They have amazing fangs, but have no fear. They have been painstakingly trained to never, ever bite a private dick. ^_^

egan said...

I can send you a Speedo. All the cool people wear them.

robkroese said...

You are all crazy.

Jacob said...

In this case I guess I see the ASS half below! (snort, snort)

Bugwit said...

There's a difference between crazy and insane!

Mone said...

you guys are sure looking like you were having fun :)

Malnurtured Snay said...

I suppose, on occasion, it might snow on Tatooine.

Anonymous said...

were those dog pawprints?

I could never be in my bathing suit and play in the snow...even with a hot tub nearby...I HATE being cold! But glad to see you all had fun!

C said...

Egan - email it to me. ^_^

Diesel - this it a distinct possibility. But we had loads of fun. ^_^

Gawpo - OMG, that is just - BOOOOOOoooooooo (clap clap clap clap) ^_^

Bug - OK, I'll give you that. ^_^

Mone - it was a great time. I hope we can do it again sometime. Maybe at slightly less numbing temps. . . ^_^

Snay - 2 suns, Man. I dunno. . . Poor frozen sarlaac. ^_^

Anon - They belong to the last pictured kitty. She's one of those polydactyl pussers. ^_^

I don't usually like being cold, either. It helped to cook like lobsters first. And to have wine. ^_^
