Marian actually HATES the snow! She cries whenever I try to get her to play in it. The other day was SO WARM (about 40 degrees) which was heaven compared to the iceberg weather we've been having so we took the kids outside to play. Here's Marian looking adorable (but a bit like a Willie Wonka Oompa Loompa) ...and very snow proof!


Isn't that hat amazing? You might think I made it for her...or maybe her grandma did, but you'd be wrong. Our librarian did! I've loved the Boston Public library from the day we moved here!

In the end Marian decided to make herself useful.
