Sledding Fun

What a busy weekend. This weekend was Rod's birthday! He turned the big 35! I think he had a nice birthday weekend. We took the kids to Stephanie and Adam's house. They loved this because they got to play with their cousins Then we went to a RV and boat show. It was fun to look around at all the different options. It's always fun to dream, not that we will necessarily be buying anything soon. Then Rod and I went an early dinner out. We don't eat out very often and without the kids is even more rare so it was nice.

Sunday, the kids were able to go sledding in our yard. I wasn't sure how it would work out, but it was perfect. It was just steep enough for the kids to go down pretty fast and just short enough that they didn't complain to have to walk back up. They had so much fun. Even Alissa thought it was great fun. She cried when I tried to bring her in early.


I also bought a kid shovel for Caleb. I had been doing a lot of snow shoveling last week and Caleb kept trying to steal my shovel. When I saw the kid one I decided that it would be well worth the money spent and was it ever. He played more with the shovel than he did sledding. He even went out again later to finish digging out his 'tunnel'. The kids had a lot of fun in the snow, but mom still hates the cold and is ready for the spring!
