Sledding Memory Take 1
Saturday it was 2 degrees in
Colorado but after being cooped up in the house for the past 4 days while the
wind chill rose to -17 the boys were begging to go outside and sled. Here was
my dilemma. Do I dig out all the snow clothes, go through the circus of getting
them dressed for 5 minutes in the snow before they want to come back inside
again? Or do I listen to them whine for the rest of the afternoon? I caved. I
got everyone dressed in winter socks, snow pants and bibs, snow jackets, hats
and hoods. I was working on gloves, when I kid you not, Cole told me he had
'poopy in his pants.' SERIOUSLY?! I strip him down, change his diaper and dress
him again. I finish everyone off with gloves and we start the long journey on
foot to the hill directly behind our backyard fence. We took a picture to commemorate
the moment. Everyone was excited to go down the hill. We slid down and
then....Cole decided he wanted to go home. One slide and he was done. I made
Cole stand outside in the cold and cry while Case went down the hill a dozen
times.Then it was my turn to make Case
cry because we had to pack up early and go home.After all the clothes were put away and the
puddles of melted snow were cleaned up it was my turn feel like crying.Mission: make memories accomplished.Next time I will be more specific on what
kind of memories I want to make.
Ahhh... motherhood. I'm glad you found a better way to make it work the next day!
