Baby, It's Coooooooooold Outside

Last week it was bitterly cold here - as it was throughout most of the nation. 

We had prepared dinner for our friends who are waiting for a heart for their baby/grandson/nephew and I had to take it to the Eye Center for Papa to take home (because apparently they live on the "edge of the earth" and kindly are sparing everyone the drive, LOL).  I bundled up the kids - making sure everyone had hats, gloves, coats, all the required cold-weather-we're-totally-unprepared-for gear. 

I put Harrison in the little fleece, Baby Gap outfit that had been my nephew's (he's almost 13). Once he was dressed, I realized his apple hat would look so cute with it.  And it did...don't you think?  I had to chase him all over the family room to get pictures...

We're still in a state of upheaval after taking down all the Christmas decorations and working on cleaning the carpets...and this would be why you see the vacuum in the background.  :)  (too hard to clone it out) 

Carpets in the family room are cleaned and now we're ready to move everything back in place.  I dread moving the TV like you cannot imagine because it is so heavy and I'm such a weakling - plus there's the whole "TV-fell-and-busted-to-pieces" drama from this time last year. I seriously don't want to go there again. Ever. But, I'm also anxious to get my family room back in order now so I'm going to have to find the strength to do it.
