lazy day

The kids have been playing a lot of video games during this vacation. Mainly because I have been too tired to take them anywhere. Today, I mustered up just enough energy to run them up the street to a little "park" (empty landscaped lot), where there is just enough of a hill to please the neighborhood kids.
It worked, they had a blast, even though it was nothing much. Jade keeps complaining that she wants to go skiing, but we don't want to deal with the long lines for the lifts. She will just have to wait till Jan. She was happy with this for now. :) Josh was ecstatic.....that is so sad....it really was nothing much.
Eddie thought it looked fun at first.


snow flinging in his face.....didn't go over too well.


face plant in the snow didn't encourage either.
didn't turn out too good for him.......poor little guy. He gave it one more shot though, a little while after his wipeout



Josh is getting a little pooped at this point, but he still wanted more.

I wish I could have caught Eddie when he was really excited watching the kids. This was is a bit "muted", I think he got camera shy. But really, he was yelling and screaming with excitement with each run the kids sled.

The funniest part of the whole thing, was Eddie's reaction to Jade after his traumas. You can see in the video how he didn't look thrilled when she called him. What you didn't see, was that every time she called him and held up the red sled, he started to shriek and cry "NO NO!".

We will try with him again next month.
