Impromtu Sledding!

Daddy has been home with us this whole week between Christmas and New Years! We took the opportunity to clean out some un-needed clothes and toys, take them to Goodwill, and generally try to organize our house a bit! Daddy has also been enjoying his extra playtime with Colin and Gillian. On Thursday morning we tried to head out to our favorite play center, but after we got dressed, our coats on, and buckled in we discovered our driveway was a SHEET of ice. It was very, very slippery.

So, um, no play center for us.

Well....we needed SOMETHING to do, the kids were restless and had some energy to burn. Daddy suggested playing in our measly 2 inches of snow (since it was definitely going to melt by the weekend). So, we got our new boots on and off we went! It was drizzling a bit, but it wasn't too bad. After throwing snow balls for a bit and running through the yard, I pulled our sled out of the garage.

Sledding was MUCH more fun than it was last year...at least in the Colin and Gillian's opinion!


Daddy pulled them up and down our "hill" for quite a while, then we tried to put them to work!

Mostly, they tried to go ACROSS the hill, not up! I'm sure we'll have more opportunity to practice this winter!
