Winter, winter go away!!

Even the most hardy Canadian has their breaking point! My goodness, that wind is so bitter, it makes even your bones cold!
Last week I took Matt to Tony Roma's and the wings sure make the cold more tolerable. They were so good, Matt and I shared another batch. Unfortunately we had to wait for a boost from CAA before we could go. They know Matt's house by heart. So Matt decided to buy a new battery so we did, however we still have to put it in. We are waiting for it to warm up a little.
Then on Friday the girls had no school so we decided to go to the cheap matinee at Carnival cinema. Matt and Airene went to the Green Hornet and Jonmarie, Shaunie and I went to Megamind. Ours was so boring that I fell asleep. Matt really enjoyed his movie.
I helped Matt stand on Wednesday and again he did really well. It makes a difference if he can watch TV at the same time.
Matt's bed is not working right now. The bed itself moves up and down and the feet too, but the head of the bed is not working. So unfortunately mom has to get up with Matt in the middle of the night again to help him turn and "other things". But hopefully the new part will be here soon, especially before the Auntie's get here! Aunty Karen and Aunty Sandy should be arriving sometime on Friday. I think Aunty Margaret is thinking about it too! Those Relitz girls don't want to miss anything.
So pray for warmer weather and clear driving conditions.
