I am such a creature of habit and as such, so ready to get back into our regular routine. So, I must admit that I was a bit disappointed to look at my calendar this morning only to find out that tomorrow is a school holiday. Yes, that’s right… another day off after nearly 2 straight weeks off. Ahh, the joys of being stuck inside in winter.
I am oh so thankful though for the milder temps today that allowed us to not only get outside but stay outside. With three busy boys, energy burning activities are a must. Today we broke out the new Christmas snow shoes and they were a hit! Chris’s energy lasted about 15 minutes {of circling around the house} before he was claiming to be tired. We ventured over to the conservation area and the fresh air felt oh so amazing!
And, speaking of energy burn, yesterday we met a few of our fav’s, the Locke’s at the indoor children’s play area in Westfield. Our plans for outdoor sledding were scratched, realizing that the kiddos would not put up with negative wind chill for very long but I must say, we all had a blast. Of course the pre-trip for donuts and a sugar high from Mrs. Murphy’s helped a bit!
Tuesday we return to real life…. And….. weather permitting…. the boys first FULL day of school! January here we come……………….

Oh my, I love the boys snowshoes! What a great gift. It certainly seems that you'll be getting a lot of use out of them this year.
