Xander, enjoying the really super-fast slide (ice will do that for you, apparently). It was the first thing he went for when we made it into the side yard, even with the ice covered ladder he had to climb - the one that didn't even challenge him in the least.
Sawyer enjoying his favorite part of the play set, the swings. He's only recently started enjoying the belly swing on his own, and the ice-covered swing didn't deter him either. He did try to get Mommy to sit down and swing with him, too, but she passed.
Ooh, it's cold. Our silly little man who wouldn't leave his gloves on and then kept complaining about being cold (so much so, that he eventually broke down in tears and tried to go back inside before everyone else was ready). That pretty much ended the afternoon.
So, maybe 20 minutes of fun in the snow (we'll ignore the last five that Connor spent whining and crying). And it took us probably 45 minutes to get everyone dressed in extra layers and outerwear. And another 45 minutes to get them changed back out and into dry clothes. And we won't even talk about the snow, which melted into big puddles, all over the floor.
Just look at those smiles . . . aren't they worth it?
