Snow Fun

A combination of two things have made this week really fun for the kids a) the weather has been really nice and warm and b) Mark has been home from work early each day to enjoy it!

Yesterday we took the kids to Turtle Hill to do some sledding. It was the first time this year that Logan's been out on the hill, and Katie's first time period. Logan was absolutely fearless and loved going down the steepest part of the hill (until he and Mark hit an unseen jump at the bottom of the hill). Katie on the other hand, went down the hill twice and decided she had enough. She would then scream if you got her anywhere near the sled.

Mark and I both decided that sledding isn't as fun when you're the adult and the one who has to pull/carry the kids AND the sleds up the hill.



















Logan has been begging us ever since it first snowed to go outside and build a snowman. Today we finally gave in, and during Katie's nap all 3 of us went outside.

Logan and Mark then proceeded to have a "snowball fight" - Mark pelted Logan with snowballs and Logan stood there pretty much defenceless.




And then Logan was Logan and was just being plain goofy playing in the snow. Who knows what he was doing here.

I LOVE it that you guys get outside with the kids and play in the snow - it's such a Canadian thing to do!!! Plus, it gets everyone into the fresh air and exercise routine. Logan really gets it! Katie will come around a bit in time.

Good for you! I love the wipe-out video - you must be a mom of at least one boy or married to a "boy" when you don't even cry out after a crash like that! :) You just kept on filming!
