Like so many of you, we had a great big snow storm this weekend. It was Theo's first snow! We went to the park to sled. Theo was out with us for about 45 minutes. He was very content to hang out with us, but his puzzled look led me to believe that he never did figure out what we were doing out there! Mattie, always our hardiest child, was outside from 11am until 4 pm, with only one momentary dash into the basement to pee. Jack and Ted were out with him. Boston Public Schools were closed today (for no reason that I can understand.) So, we had another chance to sled today. I took Jack, Elliot and Mattie back to the park. Armed with their three sleds, they walked over to the park very excitedly, but apparently sledding is one of those things that is better saved as a rare treat. Today, after about 10 minutes of sledding,
they decided it would be much more fun to throw snow in each others' faces. Cold, wet, and crying, they headed home shortly after that for a different snow tradition they were eager to repeat - hot cocoa with marshmallows.
