Cold treats

It's been cold here -- in the twenties at night -- and the air temperature stays cold, although the sun is warm enough that the kids can play outside without freezing. Yesterday they were outside for almost two hours...at one point, David ran to to door, all excited, to show me that they'd found a thick sheet of ice on top of the birdbath. A few minutes later, when I checked out the window, they were happily eating pieces of that ice...(yuck!) They were so disappointed when I suggested that they just feed that ice to the dog and not eat it themselves...sometimes moms are such party-poopers!!!
