Playing in the Snow???

The other day I decided it would be fun to play outside in the beautiful sunshine we were blessed to have (another reason may be because we needed a break from our daily routine since I have been grounded to the house for awhile). I think I should have planned our adventure a little differently. It took about 15 minutes to get the girls and myself dressed for the single digit air that would meet us as soon as we opened the door. Jayden, of course, did not like the idea of losing the ability to use her fingers. She cried the whole time I got Miya ready...who was so excited she couldn't focus on putting her snow clothes on and was in a totally different world! Once outside we found the sled and Jayden enjoyed sledding down the snow piles...she did not enjoy me putting her down so I could help Miya slide down the snow pile. Once Miya got to the bottom of the hill and stepped off to walk around to the front she started crying. "I don't like the snow" is what I heard through screaming every step she took. The reason she was crying was because she would sink in the snow about foot with each step she took. So I left Jayden crying while I went to rescue Miya. Once I had both girls in my arms all was quite. We had only been outside for 5 min...at the most. I wasn't ready to take them in yet so we ventured out to get the mail!! What an exciting activity:) I think in the future we will wait until Dad is around to help us play outside. Back to the house for a 10min strip down of snow crusted (and nose crusted) clothes!
