brrrrrrrrrrr

i do not ever want to be this cold again.  ever.  it is unusually cold here right now.  this morning i went to the temple and my car said 8 degrees.  i parked and walked to the temple doors only to find out that the bronze sliding doors on the bountiful temple were frozen shut.  i'll be darned if i was going to walk all the way downstairs since my face and hands hurt so much from the cold it felt like someone had beat me, so i pried them open.  sam has gym last period so his hair was wet when he went out to the car and when he got there his hair was frozen.  jake and craig did baptisms at the temple this morning.  jake said craig was lucky enough to drop him off at the door before parking the car.  and just try to get the dogs to go potty outside when they weigh all of ten pounds and it's single digit degrees.  i'm dreaming of warmer climes--spring training in march, a quick trip to southern california for spring break in april and then utah should probably be tolerable by may.

lots of activities today.  caroline had violin and fencing.  jake had church basketball and headed off to study ap calculus.  sam had basketball practice.  isaac had baseball practice.  it was hard to get everybody where they needed to be.  now waiting for jake, craig and caroline, then i can call it a day.  and me?  temple.  paradise bakery to pick up a salad for lunch.  and i've decided to knit a sweater so i started that.
