We got to go over to Grandma and Grandpa B's house again! We wanted to make sure the kids got to go sledding again before spring. Cole was awake this time and he really enjoyed himself!
Evie and Lizzie wanted to go down the big hill a lot. Sadly, they really don't get either 'steering' or 'bailing' so after 3-4 tree crashes, we relegated them to the little mound.
Just after this picture was taken, Lizzie sheered off a tree near the bottom and took out Jess, in the white hat before tipping completely over. That's why we had to stop.
Just for reference, this is what that same hill/pond looked like just two weeks ago. It's been slow, but spring really MUST be coming!
Evie took Cole down once - after that, Cole was far more content to wander around. I've noticed before that he's not really fond of fast things/falling but this definitely made it more clear.
Evelyn demonstrated that we didn't even need the sleds!
Carson was off by himself, so I found him and asked what he was up to. He said the was drawing in the snow.
Evie's last run was super long!
She even made it off the extra long snow run Grandpa made!
After sledding was done, we all headed inside. We made cocoa and had a snack and let the kids run wild then got ready to plant some seeds. Jess was very interested and so excited to help her daddy plant! Judging by what they planted, they're going to have a great salsa garden - tomatoes, cilantro, sweet and jalapeno peppers.
Each of my kids gets to have their own 'plot' this year. I'm not sure if they will be putting their things in the planters or in the ground with my tomatoes and other vegetables, but they will have their own responsibilities in the garden. I let them pick what they wanted to plant, even if it's not going to be a super-successful plant. Evelyn planted carrots, Lizzie planted pumpkins, Carson planted cantaloupe, and Cole planted watermelon. I planted lots of tomatoes, some sweet and jalapeno peppers, broccoli and a few flowers. I also have peas and green beans for after the weather warms up. So excited!!
