Our balcony

Yesterday I thought our apartment was blazing hot... again... but the thermostat said that it was the normal temperature.  I was already sporting a t-shirt and some yoga capris so I wasn't over dressed.  I longingly looked outside, which was sunny, but apparently very cold.  I always want to take Bugga outside because I know he likes being outdoors, but with it being so cold out it seems irresponsible.  So we compromised....

The snow on our balcony is probably chest high on him still... so I opened up the slider, to let that heavenly cold air in and he could play in the snow still.  I got his coat, boots (which he LOVES) hat and all his outdoor gear on and he stood in our apartment playing in the snow.  I gave him a spoon to dig with and he went to town... that unfortunately lead to a lot of snow in our apartment, but it was worth it :)  Snow will eventually melt and become water, and then get soaked up with a towel... so I wasn't too worried about it.  He eventually ventured out into the balcony, and the snow was so hard that he could stand on it... until he started jumping :).  He had a great time, until he took his mittens off and his hands got cold.  All the while Momma was sitting in the door enjoying the cold air... everybody won.

He eventually came in, got some dry clothes on and took an epic nap.  I think the cold air does him some good too.  Again, I have pictures, and will put them up shortly.  :)
