Last weekend the kids really wanted to go out and play.. and the weather wasn't terrible so we thought, sure why not! I was surprised that they only wanted to go sledding a handful of times, but after that they seemed done. And, I don't know about you, but after all the work of getting them dressed (and myself for that matter!) in snow gear I was going to make it last a little longer. Dude found the little carts that they liked to play with in the summer and tried to take that down the hill a few times... not very successful. He told us it was because they didn't have their snowchains on the wheels... haha. Then, while we were putting them back Gaetan thought it would be funny to start a snowball fight. Well, in the end he definitely got his! Lucy knocked him over while Dude took a huge chunk of snow and just plopped it right on his face. haha. We stayed out there for quite some time having a lot of fun. Lucy's mittens don't have thumbs on them so she would just walk right up to you and gently place snowballs on you.... where Dude on the other hand would come running at you full force and just wing one at you! Lucky for Norah everybody was very considerate about making sure they didn't hit her... which meant, Momma's bunda got the brunt of most of the attacks! And I was happy that I was able to finally go outside with them and play and do something other than be pathetic and watch from indoors. And, I know that the fresh air did everybody good! We had lots of fun until Lucy got a face full and then wasn't so excited about being out doors anymore... so, of course, all good snow outtings must end in hot chocolate... :)
