Winter Fun

So I have lived in Michigan my whole life.  I have never been one to complain about the winter.  I've never particuarly cared for it, but it's just a fact of life if you live here.  It's Michigan; the winters are long, bitterly cold, snowy, icy ... did I mention long?  For some reason though, this year, I have absolutely NO patience for winter!  None.  Zip.  Zilch.  Nada.  Zero patience.  I want it over with, done, gone, and I want spring & summer to just come right on in!

That being said, I am trying not to let my Grinch like attitude towards this weather rub off on my kiddos.  Soooo.... I have been a sport about it (at least I feel like I have).  I've pulled my winter gear out of the back of the closet.  Bundled the kids up and we've all trekked outside for a little winter fun.

This is Carly's "It's freezing but I'll try to smile" smile!

My son LOVES being outside, warm or sub-zero temps!
Christopher was bundled up like the kid from The Christmas Story, and when he attempted to bend over and grab his soccer ball, he basically did a forward face plant on the ground.  The poor boy caught himself with his nose.


He's such a trooper though! 

It never ceases to amaze me how different my children are.  Their personalities change and grow every day.  In terms of weather though, Christopher takes after my husband and pretty much would rather be outdoors regardless of temperature!  While I think Carly will follow in my footsteps and hibernate indoors through most of the winter.  Our winter fun will be admiring the beautiful view of the white snow from inside our cozy warm house, patiently (or in my case, impatiently) waiting for spring to arrive!
