Do you remember being a kid and going outside ALL day and crying when it was time to go inside? I do – even in the middle of winter I loved being outside. We got a good amount of snow last night and since Luke set eyes on it this morning all he wanted to do was go outside – how could I resist?
Joseph had his first sleep over last night so when he came home, he immediately fell asleep. I bundled Luke up and out we went. Steve had just snowplowed so there was a huge snow pile – I started digging a small hole telling Luke I’d make him an igloo but we decided to turn it into a tunnel that came out the other side. In the middle we made a big area where they can sit and hide. I know forts like that can be dangerous and collapse (speaking from experience) but the boys are never outside unsupervised so all is safe!
I dug and shoveled snow for two hours. I can only imagine how I’m going to feel in the morning. And to top it all off – I start a new job!
(yeah that is our cat’s hind end above Luke’s head – he played in the fort too)
