Beating the winter blues!

Yes, it is cold here - finally!! Up until now, I found the weather to be quite mild and warm actually for winter. Since we've returned from the US, it's been cold - a dry, windy, brutal cold. Danny informed me the other day that we are, according to the lunar calendar, in the coldest 9 days of the year. Ah yes, he has converted to the lunar calendar - his Chinese genes are shining through!! So, I guess in the next few days it should warm up - I'll let you know!!

Anyway, to beat the boredom of being stuck inside this month, we are all addicted to the Wii!! We particularly like Mario Kart!! Coop begs for it throughout the day, to the point where we now have restrictions for him on how much he can play. And no, I didn't just put the restrictions out there so he can't practice and beat me a few more times - it's for his own good, really!!!! Above you can see Coop during a practice session and then below, Eens is studying the instructions. They have been playing Uncle Michel wirelessly on the DS (we're a little addicted to that too - same game though!!) and they are all convinced he is cheating!!


Hope you are all staying warm!! It will eventually be spring!!!
