We got a lot of ice and snow this week. It was the first time this winter that the ground was truly covered in snow. After much apprehension, I finally decided a "good mother" would take her children out in the snow to play even though she didn't want to hassle with all the snow gear, get cold and wet herself, and risk falling on her pregnant bottom! I'm glad I did it because it turned out to be more successful than I thought. The girls by no means loved the snow - but they were definitely curious. They would say "mess, mess" when the snow would get on their shoes and pants, but thought it was HILARIOUS when I made snowballs and threw them at them! They'd chant "more, more, more" until I'd make another ball and throw it their way.
Today it warmed up to just over 50 degrees - even though it didn't melt the snow it did make playing outside much more fun! Plus - it was the first time in a while that we've had nice weather on the weekend so Alex could join us. The girls got all kinds of special Daddy treatment - shoulder rides, throws into the air, and lots of swinging!
When I was cooking earlier this week, the girls were begging for the lemon I was squeezing into a recipe....and so they got it! They didn't want it long and said, "Trash?" and promptly threw the lemons away.
And lastly, here's a picture from tonight as Alex cooked with the girls. They LOVED being his helpers and handing him spices!
