We had a beautiful snowfall last friday night and saturday. The kids were thrilled -- I was thankful to get home and parked in my driveway friday night -- the roads were already slippery by the time I got home around 7:15PM. We stayed home the entire weekend. The kids played for a short while on Saturday and I made a very small snowman (the snow was just too icy to do anything with). The kids didn't have the patience for making snowmen but they were okay with standing next to it so that I could get a picture. They enjoyed making snow angels. On Sunday, we were out a bit longer (maybe 30 minutes on Sat., but an hour or so on Sunday) and we went sledding down the hill at the end of our cul-de-sac. Or, rather, attempting to sled. We had snow plus a layer of ice plus more snow and with the sled we had, we had a difficult time making enough of a track to get really good, fast sledding. But, that's okay, the kids loved what we did. Then, we had to walk home -- up the hill, dragging the sled -- yes, I had to do that. Today, I'm nursing my back and the kids are at daycare. They did enjoy hot chocolate when we got in and they also enjoyed driving me crazy. They were wild at times and very messy -- they cleaned up a little bit but it is amazing how much they don't "see" when I tell them to clean up!
The build up to Christmas is nice but they are getting just too wild. I hope they are much calmer next week when they have their new stuff and are home from daycare all week. If they are not, you guys might need to come and visit me in the insane asylum, though, with my luck, they'd admit the kids there with me!!!!
