Sunny Sunday Sledding


Sunday was gloriously warm, and what better thing to do in the sunshine with all that snow than to go sledding and throw snowballs??.....I love warm days with snow---makes for good packing, and you don't have to be all bundled up to enjoy it. As a kid I even remember wishing it would snow in the summer and stick around even in 80 degree weather so we could play outside in it in our swimsuits:) Freya loves the great outdoors----she didn't make a peep the whole time we were outside---happy as a clam just like her Momma. This family loves being outside! And, on a side note, as you all know, we are looking for a house, so Jonas has been offering his share of advice in what we should look for. As we drive, he often points to houses and says that he likes this one or that one or that we should "buy that blue house" or "get the one with the swing set"....etc. However, Monday morning he had an even more specific request: While we were driving Jason to work, Jonas was looking out the window at the houses whizzing past, and the silence was broken from the backseat with the suggestion, "Mommy, we should get a house where the bathtub is right next to the kitchen table!" Jason and I couldn't help but smile...."That ought to narrow it down" Jason laughed. And it is true..... I suppose eating while bathing could save us all a little time, especially in the morning:)

And just think of how easy cleaning the kids up after a meal would be if all you had to do was turn around and dump them in the tub! I love reading about your family. We miss you guys!
