Snow Gone, Still Cold

We went for a 5km walk with the girls today and the wind is still so bitter. Last night it dropped down to -8 and the frost was heavy on the ground. I know many farmers here had put in some spring seeding prior to the snow, but I think the idea was too premature. However, the early bird does get the worm!
Last weekend was busy. Jacki and Gary were playing in a volleyball tournament in Olds and mom had all three munchkins. I picked up Amy and Bobby Saturday for some time at the acreage, and also on Sunday after church. Our neighbor's kids came over and Bobby loved having a boy to play with, instead of all the girls. Anthony is crawling everywhere and very proud of himself. I know he is my nephew and I am bias, but he is so stinking cute! He has that look on his face that he knows something that you don't. He loves crawling up to Uncle Matt's wheelchair and pull himself up. Anthony then stands there looking at Uncle Matt with that "I know something" look and it is hilarious.
The whole gang came on Sunday for steaks and we were able to sit outside for awhile, but it was chilly. Mom and John went for a walk and Matt and I watched some hockey. He was so embarrassed when I asked who was playing. So much for the little brother looking up to the older sister with admiration! That dies when they are still young!
Mom and Matt are coming for supper tonight (homemade pizza) and hopefully for a few games of cards.
Mom said Matt is getting stronger on the transfers for the bed to the chair. He can almost do it himself, so that is great. She has to set everything up for him of course and make sure he doesn't fall. He is still doing his own "personal care" every three to four hours and that helps him feel more independent.
Matt and mom both went to the dentist and mom is horrified to learn she needs a root canal. She knew it was coming but if you never visit a dentist, then nothing is wrong... right? Matt's teeth are great however they did order him another bite guard because since the accident he still grinds his teeth at night.
Oh I almost forgot the most important. I finally convinced Matt to go to the movies with me and the girls last Friday. Mom came too and we watched "How to Train Your Dragon" in 3D. It was fantastic! I did get nauseated during some of the flying scenes and felt like the water was coming right at me. The girls loved it too. Matt was being a grouchy old bear before it started, but once it was on he loved it too.
Hope everyone has great weekend (or what is left of it).
