The kids kept me company as I shoveled the driveway. That really worked only so well. Eventually, I had to finish it while they cuddled under blankets and watched a show. Oh well. They enjoyed the time outside; well, let's be honest: Leah enjoyed herself. I'm not so sure about Hunter.
He decided to take off his mittens almost immediately, and his hat soon followed (because he's a boy, and apparently boys don't get cold. Have you seen the number of teenage boys who wear shorts in 30 degree weather?!). But surely he wasn't cold. Then I told him he couldn't play out back on the swingset, nor would I let him run around the front unsupervised. (I'm so mean, aren't I?) So, needless to say, he fussed a good deal of the time we were outside (which really wasn't that long).
Thankfully, Leah was impervious to the cold and Hunter's fussing. Good thing, too; after all, she has to start earning her keep around here!

| What's missing? Mittens, of course. |
