We've had a lot of snow this winter here in the frozen tundra. Our mailbox almost disappeared for a while. The days are short and cold, but the kids have had their most fun winter yet. Olivia is able to get her outdoor gear on largely by herself. And Donovan has accepted that, no matter how frustrating they can be, mittens really are necessary. Monday night we went out to play after dinner. There was another cold front on the way and we had wiggles to get out. We had a blast climbing "mountains" and sliding down on the sled or our rear ends. Then we took the sled to the ice rink behind our house. There were no skaters so we had the whole rink to ourselves. I pulled the kids up and down the rink on the sled and spun them around in circles. We made snow angels in the fresh snow and then came inside for "warm chocolate". I wish I had taken a photo of their rosy, rosy cheeks. We laughed our heads off that night. Times like this with my kids are beyond fun. They are pure joy.
