Playing in the Snow

It has been a very cold, very snowy winter.  I have not encouraged the girls to play outside at all.  After school Kate wants to go home and go inside.  I think that before today she's asked to play outside maybe once.  Today I actually had Fiona in a snow suit and not in her bundle bag in her car seat.  So when Kate asked to play outside I thought sure, why not.  I use the baby as an excuse to not play outside with the girls.  And while it is difficult to play outside in the snow with a baby it can be done.  I've been a real wimp this winter.  Next year Fiona will be walking.  I plan on being the opposite of a wimp next winter. 

I suppose I'm not a total wimp though.  I walk to pick up Kate and I push the girls in a stroller through the badly plowed street and slightly better plowed sidewalk.  I take it back.  I'm not a wimp!  I'm awesome!
