Clearly Cold

CHILLY: This morning brought bright blue skies, but frigid temperatures. Ken called us early to tell us his car was frozen shut. Fortunately, he was eventually able to chip his way in.

We saw lots of frost on the roads as we made our way to West Seattle this morning, to Family Learning Program classes at the Southwest Teen Life Center.

There was a small lake covered in ice in the parking lot. The kids had fun testing the strength of it.

By afternoon, it was just another puddle.

BLUE FRIDAY: The Seahawks continue their post season march. This weekend, the Atlanta Falcons are the opponent. Today, The Powers that Be declared it Blue Friday, and sportsfans were supposed to wear their Seahawks gear. Count us in!

Thanks to a Facebook post, I learned about a cute lil craft project - a little Russell Wilson doll graphic you can print out at home.

To get yours, follow the link to this Russell Wilson PDF from The Seattle Times. 

Annabelle lovingly crafted her little Russell this evening. It was a little tricky, requiring a lot of tiny, precise cuts. Hold still Russell, this won't hurt a bit ...

She was happy with the outcome, though. Except she lost his facemask. We'll have to hunt it down. Can't have Wilson out there with no facemask come Sunday.
