Fun in the Snow

Jonathan and Annisia don't care how cold it is...the week these pics were taken, the temps didn't get above about 20 degrees. But, nearly every day before lunch and after naps, we were outside in the snow all bundled up. It's a good thing Jonathan knows when he has to go potty...not once did I get him bundled up only to hear him say, "I have to go potty!" Good boy! He really likes playing with his loader. He had to tow his trike because it got stuck in the snow in the driveway. We found a tow rope, and pretended to be Daisy, the horse in the Usborne Farmyard series of books. We pulled his trike to the front of his loader, loaded it up into the bucket, hauled it to the deck and dumped it! Whew! What a good days' work! Annisia just watches us doing all of this, including Mommy whinnying like a horse, and pushing Jonathan in the loader (because he can't pedal it in the snow), and stoically continues to brave the cold while nearly unable to move because of the bundling!

A couple Saturdays ago, we went over to Michael's parents place to sled. Like I said, it was quite cold that week. I think it was 12 degrees this day...at noon. The kids loved the sledding. Here Daddy is taking them up the hill. Then he got on and held Annisia in his lap while they barreled down the hill. The kids giggle and want more!


You can tell it has been years since I have sledded! What a wimp! Annisia loved it! Watch it again and listen for her giggle near the end...right after we go through the little dip.
