This has been a very unusual winter. We've had hardly any snow. However, this week we had 3 days without school due to a massive snow storm prediction. (They canceled school based solely on the prediction before a single flake fell.) We ended up getting 5 inches over the 3 days. Really not a lot, but finally enough to go sledding and have some fun outside.
Peter turned out to be every bit as cold and snow averse as he was last season, sadly. Hopefully next year he'll finally learn that snow can be fun. I kept him out as long as I could until his whining and crying started to tear too much at my heartstrings and I took him into the car to warm up and wait for the others to fnish. What's funny is I always want to still sled long after all the kids have had their fill.
Bella invited her friend Emma to join us and a random kid who was sledding nearby also came right over and joined us for the entire time we were there. He was an Indian boy about Christian's age and he started talking to us and sledding with us like he'd known us all his life. It was really cute. It made for a fun group. I didn't photograph the random kid (never did get his name) incase his mom would be upset, although, I never saw any adult with him.
Sitting out on the frozen lake is always fun. Especially for Peter who can never get enough of Emma. He is quite the little flirt.
For family home evening, Benjamin did the lesson on Noah's ark. He had us build tinfoil boats in the bathtub and load them full of toy animals. Peter thought that was a blast and the activity went clear past bedtime and necessitated a complete outfit change.
