We got about 8 more inches of snow this weekend, but unlike the previous storms this one was followed by a warm(ish) sunny day so the kids were excited to go outside and play. Getting around was a bit challenging, and I think all the kids got stuck in at least once but it just made it all more fun and adventurous. I even got stuck when I had to rescue Frankie whose boot had come off in the snow. My leg sank down half-way up my thigh (did I mention I was just wearing leggings?), and I was a little concerned for a bit as I struggled to get my foot out. After that I mostly scooted around on my bottom during my rescue efforts.
Here are a few pictures of the kids in our front yard. The best part - a whole day with almost no fights between the kids and four famished children at supper time who ate without needing a single reminder to eat their food (our kids tend to get easily distracted from the task at hand come mealtimes). We've all been getting a bit stir-crazy around here the last few months so we are anxiously anticipating warmer days ahead. And I will try to remember these days of being cooped up and just appreciate the fact that we are getting time outside when there are several square feet of mud on the floors at both the front and back entrance for the next few months. This week's forecast: rain. I'm not sure if that will be an improvement or not....
