I think many of us would like winter to be over and spring to come like yesterday. The extremely cold temperatures are getting old and making the winter even more miserable. Without the freezing temperatures we could at least enjoy some time outside. Snowfall after snowfall we just watch it fall wishing we could play in it. Thankfully the kids did get a couple times where the temps were good enough to spend more than 10 minutes outside. And boy did they take advantage of it. One daycare day we had fun going on a scavenger hunt. Interesting finds: a milk jug and a throw pillow. Yep we found a throw pillow on our scavenger hunt around the fence. Cohen’s favorite summertime activity was definitely swinging. He’s been missing out all winter. This is the way he prefers to play in the snow.
Sevea loves all ways to play in the snow. Swing, attempting to slide down the slide (note attempt since it was more of a push herself through the snow down the slide), build a snowman, sledding, and most recent fort making and playing. Troy has declined my offer to purchase a snow blower for a couple years now. One benefit to him/I (he takes on the brunt of the work but I’ve pitched in my share when I could) shoveling is the big piles of snow at the end of the driveway. They made a great sledding hill and place to build a fort.
We’ve sure tried to sneak in as much fun as we could on the few warmer winter days this year. Even still we’re excited for spring weather to come.
