Before the Storm

It's supposed to snow today.  As a matter of fact, I'm just starting to see tiny flakes here and there as I type this.  The storm could bring snow, off and on, for a couple of days.  We'll see. 

Anyway, I had wanted to get the kids out to run around before it was too cold.  And of course, everything on my morning list took longer than I meant for it to.  (story of my life)  SO...we decided to hit up the Junky Park. It's just two blocks away so we grabbed the frisbee, soccer ball, and a snack and hit the sidewalk. 

 

Mr. Fisher is at the point where he'd just prefer I NOT take 387 pictures of him playing at the park so I try and cut him some slack.  SOME.

ROCKIN' his Dad's Angry Birds hat.

Mad skills.

Piper, however, was in excellent form and she couldn't care less if I take 387 pictures of her.  She's so splendidly goofy.

Not to mention she's insanely cute.

We got lots of playing, climbing, soccer-ing, and frisbee-ing action crammed into just 45 minutes or so.

Then we hit the sidewalk heading home.  There was a really neat tree on the way with lots of funky roots.  Fisher:  "Mom, take our picture by this cool tree."  Me:  "You got it!"

Piper back to being a goof.

Fun times.  I love that park.  I don't know why we don't go every single day.  Maybe we should start? 

I came across this book the other day that I'm SO getting... Fifteen Minutes Outside: 365 Ways to Get Out of the House and Connect with Your Kids.  What a great idea right?  I'm putting it on my "to do" list...  going through that book, one at a time, with my kids.  Maybe even at the junky park.

Hugs, hot chocolate, and falling snow.
