He woke this morning just after the sun (or what we can see of it anyway) full of ideas and endless chatter. Fortunately I had just completed my third cup of tea and in the quiet of the morning was able to keep up. Barely.
He plans to be a super hero when he grows up, yielding a real light saber to protect the good guys of the world. I love his heart and creative brain.
Family games with peanut M&M's occupied a fair amount of our time as the single digit temperatures prevented hours of snow play. But we tackled some sledding none the less. Breaks in the heated car were required at frequent intervals despite the kids' insistence they were fine to keep going.
My dryer has been working overtime in recent days with endless loads of snow suits and gloves because they play outside for a little bit, come in to warm up and within an hour are suiting back up for the great outdoors again. But the slower pace of these days was exactly what we needed to reconnect, catch up on some reading and each other's thoughts. We played hard, relaxed well and enjoyed extended time together. It is only January and we are already borrowing makeup days from Spring Break so we need to make the most of snow days.
