Surviving Winter

March rolls around and everyone starts getting antsy for spring! We run out of things to occupy our time since we have exhausted all options! So we turn to emptying cupboards so we can hide. Notice Heidi's little feet and her fingers on the cupboard door? We get a visit from a cousin who happens to be a big hit at this house.

What day wouldn't look brighter with those sweet eyes?

Sometimes she barely escapes with her life after being mulled by Heidi! Heidi has always been gentle until the last time Annalise came for a visit. Oy!! We have our work cut out for us in the being kind/gentle department. She put a hurting on a friend's little boy last week and I carted her out of their house hoping to have retained a little dignity.

Another way we survive winter is by playing with friends and looking at books.

And sometimes Darth Vadar shows up with a baby in hand.

And when things really get bad you go into complete denial and refuse to see the snow on the ground and you pretend it is warm!!

You hike up your pants and run through the snow without shoes.

You expose your tiny little sun deprived legs and run on a dare to the snowman in the middle of the yard.

Your roll through the snow with bare feet, shorts and t-shirts......

You belly-flop in the snow pretending it is a pool of water....

Pick yourself up off the ground, brush off the snow and go again.

And if you are the mom you grab the camera to document these wild days and hope that none of the neighbors are looking or you may all be deemed lunatics!
