SNOW!

It really was a snow day on Friday.  It feels nice to actually get one after so many threats and let downs.  The 'snow' was really ice, which made for good sledding.

 When we woke up, there was nothing terribly impressive, but thankfully, my work canceled work for that day because it got really really bad later in the day.

We tried to sled the first day on some cardboard that I found on the carport.  BabyP decided he did not want to wear mittens, so after his first fall, depicted in the picture below, he decided he was done.  In his defense, I think he didn't weigh enough to break through the ice so he was sliding a lot. 

I took him inside to let him dry off and get some tears out.  When I went back outside with sister, she went one more time down the hill before she decided she was finished.  Evidently, she didn't wear socks, so her feet were about to fall off because she was wearing gumboots.

The next day went much better.  We went for a nice walk in the neighborhood.  Everyone was in a much better mood and better dressed for the climate.

She wanted to be sure to get all of the ice off the plant.  It isn't that she is so dense that she is walking into the tree.

Notice he is wearing gloves?  You know how we got him to do that?  Ask his sister to wear a matching set of gloves.  He might be stubborn, but he idolized his sister.

And our snow angel made a snow angel.  She did about 5 of these on the walk.  We kept asking her to not do it in the road because cars would come by from time to time.

We had a nice couple of days.  Most of the time, it was just me and kids because Iain had work and other things he was working on. I was able to get some clothes sorted and lots of house type of things done.  It was nice to be stuck in the house just cooking, tickling and playing.  Although, I was pretty ready to get out of the house today.
