Looking back...


These are pictures and stories from a week ago, I'm just a bit behind I guess.


Hannah went to Brownie camp and it was a beautiful, sunny weekend. It's been a really long, REALLY snowy winter and so I guess the sun coming out made me prematurely excited for spring. When Mom & Erika suggested a walk around Mom's block, I decided to make it a little more interesting and suggested Toogood Pond where there are paths and boardwalks and Jack & Bennett could run along and we could all enjoy the nice weather. I do always try to fit too much in and I had to pick up Hannah from Brownie camp about one hour later, but thought the walk would be good for everyone...including Charlotte in her stroller. Mom & Erika had a really great sense of humour about it (luckily) when I had to leave them stranded in a snowbank (again) to run pick up Hannah with Jack bleeding from climbing a frozen tree in winter boots! I don't know how long they stayed, it was a long walk back around the pond and there was ice & snow covering everything and not a bare path to push a stroller anywhere! Whose crazy idea was this?


When I did pick Hannah up, I was greeted this way!!


I remember Brownie camp when I was Hannah's age, but I don't ever remember going in the winter!! Those girls (and some of their Moms) are pretty tough!


Anyway, the weather seems to be turning, rain and above 0 temperatures today but still mountains of snow everywhere! Eri & I had a much more spring-like walk with Henry, Bennett & Charlotte at the zoo today. Lots of puddles, but no one got stuck or hurt...the sign of a good day!

Mom doesn't look like she had THAT great a sense of humour about it... Looks like fun!

That was just sun in my eyes. We really were laughing as one disaster after another kept unfolding. It was like some crazy comedy routine. I wish Dana had a picture of Eri and I pulling, pushing, lifting and sliding double stroller full of kids over bumpy ice and through puddles over our boots.
