above ZERO.

We have not felt air that is above zero degrees for a long, long time. So when the day broke a lovely 7 degrees and the skies were brilliant blue - WE DASHED QUICKLY OUT OF THE HOUSE.
I bundled the three kidlets. (but not nearly as bundled as the -24 degree days, or the -10 degree days...)
I warmed up the van. (but it didn't need the windows scraped or the defrost on or the usual 10-15 minutes of warming so i can see out of all the windows)
I drove to the park. (where instead of ski tracks and piles of snow as high as the cars, i could now see a parking lot FULL of cars due to the excitement of the temperature and the color of the sky!!)
I got Sam and Mercy into the stroller. (which i can use, because the pathways are mostly snow and ice free)
I let Sam walk for most of the trip. (Since the snow is mostly off the path he can actually WALK down it now!! haha)

So. that is our park story for the day.

P.S. Did i mention that Storynory.com is a really fun website with stories of all sorts? Julia has been listening to the for a few days now, while coloring through page after page of her coloring books. (which she doesn't usually do) It is a really nice quiet activity that is enjoyable for everyone (that means i really enjoy listening to the stories too!! haha).

GOODBYE!!
