| Making snow angels....by his own choice! |
Saturday was Winterfest, some sort of "fest" that celebrates winter, I suppose. I took the kids last year, and I can't say I remember much other than a sleigh ride and street hockey. Yay? Josh volunteered again with the fire department to control 2 bonfires there for roasting marshmallows (oh yeah, there was that too). Of course, I was unable to go, given my need to be within arms reach of a bathroom at all times. My in-laws took the kids, according to Wyatt, the sleigh ride was, "okay", the igloo "wasn't fun", and as for what else they did - "I don't know." A raving review.
Today was a gorgeous day, so Josh took the kids out after Paige's nap. I mustered up a bit of energy and headed out there with them for a while too. Wyatt made several snow angels (the fact that he willingly lay down in snow was kind of surprising), and Paige tried to climb to the top of a snow hill in our bay unassisted.
I can't help but parent Paige in a constant state of bemusement. I have lost count of the times Josh and I have said to each other, "I wish I knew what she was doing." Today she sat on the couch between Josh and I, pointed at Josh, then me, then loudly clapped and made kissing sounds. Josh tried giving her a kiss much to her dismay, so she grabbed him by the back of the head and pushed him towards me. Apparently she is not grossed out by her parents kissing like some of us were. Later in the day, on one side of the table, Wyatt set up a "gate" - his tackle box full of cars and a car ramp - to block Paige from getting at his toys. She ran up to it and stopped dead when he yelled, "You can't get through the gate!" Then she turned to look at me - and I swear she shrugged - then sauntered around the other side of the table, grabbed a tractor off the table and ran into the living room. She is no end of amusement. :D
