monday at the madhouse ~ cabin fever

Yesterday morning I was making the coffee and I glanced at the thermometer outside. It was -18 out there. Yikes!Needless to say, we all hunkered down and stayed inside having soups most of the weekend. We also taught Ezra how to play some cards (War). He didn't really understand because... you know... counting. But he sure loved slapping down the cards. And he liked watching us shuffle.I remember just last month when he couldn't reach the railing. Look at him now!We had a birthday party to attend on Saturday morning, and Ezra loved the blue iced cake pops. Curled up so tight that her tail covers her eyes. What a sweetie.
