freezing cold

Super cold weather everywhere.  Tomorrow, it's supposed to be a high of 6 Fahrenheit.  
I knitted this chunky hat & found it pretty silly looking as a hat.  I think it's a nice plant cozy though.
Next, is this baby hat:

I didn't order the kit, but bought "the baby wool" which was $12, since I already had knitting needles the right size.  As for the pattern, I cast on 50 stitches & I'm simply knitting back & forth.  I crocheted (a chain) one tie.
Two years ago we were still homeschooling with Hannah & Olivia.  We read To Kill a Mockingbird when Olivia was 13, and now it's required reading for her...  It's such a great book, nice to reread it!
Sledding with cousins:
Big brothers:
Littlest cousins!  I hope they'll be good friends!  And below, mornings with these boys:
Olivia & George were twinning a few days ago.  Look at that little smile, below.  He'll be 3 months old next week!
We went ice skating with Rob's sister Sun. afternoon.
