family time

It was one of those weekends that fly by and I think back (okay it was only yesterday) and have a hard time remembering what we did. I guess not a whole lot of anything. Nathaniel had a fever all weekend and I was dragging myself around too. I actually napped yesterday afternoon. This is always a hard choice for me to make. To nap or not to nap. Napping won over. I then had to deal with feeling groggy and having a headache afterwards. And it is usually hard for me to fall asleep at night. I got an awesome book from a friend which actually factored into my having a nap. This was my thinking...if I nap I can stay up later and read this new amazing book. (I'll share the book another time). It was worth it!

But here is what we did yesterday after supper. Andrew went outside with the kids while I tidied up the kitchen and family room. Then I headed out with the camera of course. It was still cool (around 4 degrees) but the sun made it pleasant.

Jesse insisted on being lifted up into the tree. But when he stood their his feet were squished so he kept complaining about them. Of course when we took him down he cried because he wanted back up. I love the picture I got from some of the happier moments of him being a tree climber/percher.

Nathaniel was figuring out the skateboard and rolling himself around the driveway. Hmm...future mechanic?
Abigail does not appear to be cold (this is normal for her) and was trying to figure out how to skip while crossing her arms.



Thankfully for me she loves having her picture taken and will happily pose for me.

Here is Andrew chilling.

Then the kids bolted down the street.

And to get Jesse to head back home I had to make a running race. This is to avoid the full out tantrum that usually happens when the word inside is mentioned. But I was freezing cold at this point and was thinking to myself that I should have put on my winter coat.

Here is today's carbon fast challenge. We are into week 4 people! Woo hoo!
