We're currently under a deep freeze, and the kids are enjoying having to wear the hats and mitts that they got for Christmas. The unfortunate thing about this weather is that we had to get the block heater in Hubby's truck replaced since it wasn't working at all. We were lucky it was starting during that cold snap before the holidays.

And that reminded me of last winter. We were in Saskatoon last year, and there was a three week long cold snap in December that usually didn't come until January. We were plugging the van in, and it was starting, but it was rough. One Saturday, we took it in to the dealership for some reason (I can't quite remember what now) and four hours later we went home with a new block heater. There was less than 10% power in the old one and the van should not have been working. We were very lucky.

The van is happy now, though. And we picked up the truck right before lunch. The Boy got to ride home with Daddy, and Boy2 spent the whole time yelling and whining that he wanted to go in the truck too! Maybe next time, Kiddo.
