Winter Wonderland

Last night the kids and I ventured out to the driveway to attempt some shovelling. Once the kids got out of the protection of the garage and into the wind things started going downhill pretty quickly. I gave up shovelling and decided to try to entertain them by getting out the sleds. I put Shelly in a sled and the plan was to take her around to the side of the house out of the wind. Archer wanted to pull her. We only got as far as the edge of the driveway before one mitten, two boots and a hat flew out, and the girl bailed, leaning over until she tipped out of the sled and into the slush. And that's how our first sledding adventure of the season ended. I order Archer to retrieve Shelly's boots, mitten and hat and we all went inside for hot chocolate and marshmallows. Or in Shelly's case, marshmallows with a tiny bit of hot chocolate.
