I know that I’ve shared a few snow pictures lately, mentioned the dusting of snow we received Christmas morning, and showed you the lovely sunshine/sunset on our walk Christmas evening, but I felt like I should be honest about our reality.
Yes, Russ did take the boys to play in the snow on the 26th. They went sledding and had a marvelous time. Yes, we went back to the snow (what was left of it) on the 28th and went sledding (in the rain), but the point I need to make is that we went to the snow.
The reality at our house looks mostly like this: 
Wet, gray, muddy, and very messy. The boys don’t mind, though. Luke made the ‘bridge’ above. Levi could spend hours in his ‘dam’ below.
Even I don’t mind tromping though the wet on occasion.
(Levi informed me that this bog (below) is ‘his old friend.’ They met when we first moved in two years ago, and it is where he first found his tadpoles.)
The problem is that fresh air ‘recess’ includes mom supervision (since Leif refuses to nap), 3 baths, and an extra load of laundry. 
Anyone want to come off-roading? Grin.
