This was today from tanya s on Vimeo.
Things to note:
1. Me chucking a snowball in the air and managing to hit myself. This happened multiple times today. I is totes pro. Ummm who doesn't remember my PE skillzorz? Didn't I win gold at the last Olympics? Prits much have already won Vancouver 2010.
2. Stach just dumping a load of snow on Phenna.
3. This is me wearing 8 layers of clothing in case you're wandering why I'm waddling around like I have the entire Liberal front bench hidden under my jacket. I kid you not. The bottom 3 layers are just 3 thermals heaped on top of each other. Survival guide for Dutch winter = 3 thermals + 1 t-shirt + 1 long sleeve shirt + 1 sweater + 1 jumper + massive eskimo yellow ski jacket = lekker warme. And that's just my top half. Don't even get me started on how many layers I was wearing on my legs.
4. Ok so the question "Do you have this in Australia?" is slightly rhetorical. Wasn't meaning to sound smug or summat. No need to rub my face in the fact that y'all can actually leave the house without having to strap on an external heater just to stay alive. Actually they do have these heater shoes in Holland where there actually is a heater built into the sole of the shoe. Perfect for when you have puddles of snow/dirty slushy water inside your boots. Last time this happened to me I couldnt feel my toes and probs walking barefoot on the snow woulda been a better option.
5. Suffice to say, I think I had much more fun than the kids today.
6.
I was just searching for the song that accompanies this video and stumbled upon this instead. I love that Jens Lekman works on so many levels. My favourite part of this video is between 2:38-3:24. Take note. I think this video gives a clue as to what goes down when Liv and I have a sleepover. Liv I shotgun the strangely demonic, kinda scary, poncho-wearing, donkey/horse/racoon hybrid.

Haha mad! Reckon the snow will stick around into Feb? Unlikely I know. I'll just have to make do with the 40 degree heat of South Australia instead...
Are that many layers entirely necessary though?? Hope you have much more fun in the snow! Haha you do indeed seem more amused than the children :P
