the big meltdown


Before it got too warm last week, I took the kids outside to play with the nearly perfect snow. Conrad had been asking all month to make a snowman and it was finally time. Sadly, it just continued to get warmer and warmer and by the time we left later in the afternoon our friend was already headless and shrunken.










After we had created a snowman (and dog), Conrad was ready to go in. I still had energy to burn and Norrie was peacefully sleeping in the carrier so I convinced him to go on a walk with me. He agreed when I promised he wouldn't actually have to walk. I could tell he was tired but I didn't expect him to fall asleep in the sled (which he did for a few minutes).
