It's been a long winter and an even longer past few days. We have been spending A LOT of time in the house the past few days fighting off colds and trying to stay warm. The kids and I are usually on-the-go kind of people - always finding something fun to do to get us out of the house during the day. But with the backyard looking like a frozen tundra and the fact that my car takes at least 20 minutes to get even a little bit warm, we have been hibernating in the house.
We've played a lot of Hungry Hungry Hippos, watched a lot of cartoons, kicked balls around, colored, played cars, laughed, cried, you name it - we've done it. Today Matty looked at me and said, "Mommy, let's go get coffee." Poor kid would do just about anything to get out of the house today, and getting coffee sounded like a great idea to me. So I warmed up the car for a good 20 minutes while everyone got bundled, then off to the Dunkin Donuts drive-thru we went. I keep telling myself that I will miss these days, and I am enjoying time at home with my little munchkins. But some days are long and hard. A little warm weather and a walk to the park would do us all good. We can't wait for the Spring!
Amen to the warm weather to come! We're in the home stretch of our 3 week absence from Daddy and we, too, could use the warmth of spring and the freedom that it brings to go outside and just be. You're a great mama - these pictures prove it. :)
