This past week was full of wintery type stuff.  So. Not. My. Thing.  But, I made the best of it.  We got a nice dumping of snow so of course the kids wanted to go outside and play in it.  Thankfully they are of the age where I really don't need to be out there with them but can more or less just supervise from the front door.  Yeah, I like that!

I did head out there for a few minutes to snap some photos, though.  And then they wanted to go sledding down our slopey driveway so I obliged.  I love that they're up for playing outside no matter what the weather here.  Wish I could say the same for me but if I can't wear flip-flops outdoors, then it's too cold.

We also managed to put together our gingerbread house for the season, which the kids absolutely love doing.  I can't blame them.  They totally enjoyed the gingery goodness that the house was filled with and designing exactly what pieces of candy would go where.  Ah, to be a kid again!

This coming week is their last week before Christmas break so we've got school Christmas programs and parties on the agenda.  I am looking forward to having them home for a while without the routine and schedule that school makes us keep.
