Walking the Walk: Day 5

Day 5: SNOW DAY! That means I have one extra kid at home during the day and that both of them want to spend the day outside. Fine by me.

We build the requisite snowman, throw a few snowballs, and tromp around the yard for a while. It's all active, yes, but I'm not even breathing hard so by my arbitrary standard this week, not a workout.

It's easy enough to fix, though. When they've had enough angel-making and playing, I dig the sled out of the garage and take them both for a few laps around the block. While they're behind me shrieking with laughter, it occurs to me that they're probably big enough now to try cross-country skiing.

After dinner, we head to the sledding hill for an hour, which definitely fulfills my requirements for the day.
