February Fun

Alice dropped her morning naps and now gets to join in our daily sledding expeditions  She loves it, although it's hard to tell with all the layers on. It's a wonderful day when your kids can walk up the hill by themselves and bring up their own sleds.

Ryan taught the girls to go down on their stomachs backward so they wouldn't be so nervous. After watching their delighted faces whoosh down the hill, I thought I would try - terrifying.

Please note the height of the car compared to the snowbank. I never knew until living in Misawa that it's important to shovel down the tops of your piles of snow too. Otherwise, 1. you can't reach it and 2. all the snow falls back down. Rumor has it that we are at over 170 inches or snow.

With Alice's help, the girls have re-discovered that winter clothing and be fun when you are inside too. Alice loves taking everything out of our outdoor bin and putting it on.

Not only fun, but fun-ctional.
