A Weekend of Cold

Saturday night the whole family went out to dinner. I had a lot of plans last week that kept me from family time, so we decided Saturday night would be just the four of us. We went to a fun restaurant and then to a frozen yogurt place next door. This yogurt was a little different; no sugar, just plain yogurt 'whipped'. The kids loved it all the same, especially because we put a bunch of berries on top. About three bites in, Eli experienced his first 'brain freeze'. He did NOT like that. He grabbed his forehead and said, "Why I have a head-ick?" We explained that he had to take smaller bites to avoid the freeze....he learned pretty quickly.

Today we received our first real snowfall of the season. Given that it is now March, it will most likely be our last too. After church we ate lunch with our small group. The snow was too wet to allow the kids outside to play in it, but they did enjoy watching through the big windows while we ate. As soon as Lehr and the kids got home (I was MIA, again), they put on boots and coats and mittens and hats. One snowman, many snowballs, and four pair of wet mittens later, they came inside to nap. Lehr said Maddie's fingers were blue when he took the gloves off. He had no idea because she was so happy to be outside!
