Okay, so maybe we aren't the happiest family, but the last week has seen an incredible mood shift. I will simply thank the weather for it. We've been able to go outside for extended periods of time EVERY DAY. I can finally take the kids out in just a long sleeved shirt and not worry about coats, which gets us out of the house so much faster. It has been pure bliss!
We've gone on long walks, visited a park one day, went to the zoo twice, and visited a duck pond. Elli loves sea lions, likes giraffes, and ignores monkeys. Michael finally learned that the white duck is still a duck, not a chicken. I think the duck almost had a heart attack as Michael chased it screaming "chicken nuggets!"
This weather has really made a difference with Michael. That poor kid can't stand being shut up indoors. Unfortunately it's too hard to carry Elli around while he plays in the snow because she just wants to crawl around after him. Soon he will have a yard where he can run out the back door and play in the snow whenever he wants. That can't come soon enough. Until then I'll take the warm weather, the Vitamin D, and the happy sounds of Michael chasing ducks.
