Sledding

This morning we took the kids sledding at a nearby school with a pretty decent hill. It was a beautiful morning to go. The snow was fresh from the day before and the sun was shining. Derek has taken the kids a couple of times this winter while I've been working on the weekends. But this was the first time I'd been in probably 20 years. I was a mess. I wore 4 layers (the kids only had on two) and I was sweating right away. Derek now thinks I must've been a "terrible kid" because I could not figure out how to steer. No matter what, I'd either veer to one side or end up going down backwards.

Punky was a pro at sledding and could've taught me a thing or two! She had so much fun going down on her tummy, sitting up, using different sleds, "racing" us, and going down the hill with Daddy.



Buddy went down the hill a few times and had a lot of fun too, but he was more interested in playing in the snow. He brought his "scooper" and had fun shoveling the snow. We helped him make a 2 foot tall snowman. And then he wanted to build a sand castle. Not a snow castle (or snow fort) but a SAND castle. It took us a good 10 minutes to convince him that there was no sand. Crazy boy. Then he somehow thought up that he would "build Cabela's" in the snow. He is obsessed.with.animals. So silly!







Derek and I decided that we couldn't not post these silly photos from this morning. As we were getting ready to leave the house this morning, Buddy was playing "quietly" in the bedroom and got into Punky's makeup kit. Here is what Daddy found...

He has such a devilish look in his eyes!
