Snow Day

We have had a fun week full of snow and cold. We actually got to stay home from school one day. My friend called for us to go over first thing in the morning when she heard there was no school. We built a snow man, had hot coco, coffee, and what not. We had so much fun! It was great to spend the day with friends.

The day before snow day the girls were so excited that our grass was a little white. They went out to play before we had to leave for school. Their favorite thing was to run onto the tramp, stop, then slide onto their backs. I watched them through the window in fear they just might get whip lash. But they laughed every time.

No more training wheels!

Daddy took Brooklyn's training wheels off again, in an attempt to teach her how to ride. This time it worked! She picked it up in only a few minutes, and was cruising around. Daddy decided to take her for a nice long bike ride around our loop, 2 miles. On the home stretch Brooklyn went into the dirt and lost control and flew down a 6 foot gully, only to be stopped by a barbed wire fence. OUCH :( Brooklyn got back on her bike and they rode the rest the way home. She was cut up a bit, but she would not let me take pictures of it. I think it may have scared her a lot more than it hurt her. She did not want to stop riding to take a bath, and right after her bath she was ready to ride again. I told her she would have to wait until Sunday to ride again. She is addicted to riding, finally. This just goes to show that when she wants to accomplish something, she can do anything she sets her mind to.
