We live just a few blocks away from the local library. We usually go once a week for story time. Since we live so close I feel a bit ridiculous driving. Not to mention it takes longer to load the kids up, drive, park, and unload them than it does for us to just walk. This day I actually felt fine driving but when I asked the kids they begged to walk. : / So I gave in. We bundled up and headed out. It was so foggy we couldn't even see up the street.
Despite the cold, I was a good girl and walked up both big hills instead of taking the short cut. Nevertheless we still got to the library early so we decided to go to the park first. At this point it was still foggy and freezing out.
Em swinging pretending to be grumpy. She honestly cannot make an ugly face no matter how hard she tries. How did she get so dang cute!
We ate some snacks under the play structure and cuddled to keep warm. My thought, perfect photo op... kids thoughts... quick, make a sad face so it looks like our life is miserable. Seriously, every time I try to be in a picture with them all I get is the grumpies. So I thought, if you can't beat em, join em! Then we made all kinds of faces including a happy one. YAY!
My handsome little man is growing up too quickly! Just a few weeks away from his 4th birthday!
After a little while I convinced them to head into the library and play with the inside toys for a while. Story time was good, these two were especially crazy this day, but we still lasted though all of story time. We played inside for a few minutes, grabbed some new books and then headed back to the park for more snacks and play.
Em really loved when P pushes her these days. It is fun to watch too. Here he is attempting an underdog.
Em sure loves her Big Bro!
I love when we have friends join us at the park, but it is also fun when we are the only ones there (which has been happening a lot lately, I think we are the only ones willing to brave the cold) because these two really play together which is so fun to see. I love that they are "Best Best Buddies" as they call it. I sure hope they love the next one as much as they love each other.
And lastly, my view as I walk. Could life get any better?
