Hibernation

I love winter because it slows life down for us. We hibernate just a bit and enjoy quiet weekends at home, reading books, watching movies, and playing games.

This weekend we had next to nothing on our schedule. I love the freedom of having nowhere in particular that we had to be or had to go. Chris got up with the boys this morning and let me sleep until the surreal time of 8:15 am. (Decadent in my life! 8:15 am is the new noon for a mom to three young boys.) After letting me sleep in, he greeted me with breakfast, a cheddar broccoli omelet, made special by "Daddy's Diner." (Hmmm, perhaps this spoiling has been brought on by his upcoming guys' ski trip? Maybe? I will soak it up regardless!)

After breakfast, we decided to pay a visit to our Whoville sledding hill. I laughed hysterically watching the boys take turns on the sleds. Aidan even brought his snowboard and took off down the slope at full steam. We then moved over to the adjacent playground where climbing quickly dissolved into a family snowball fight - parents vs. the kids. I spent more time laughing than I did making snowballs.

Tonight, we will embrace a nice quiet evening at home and perhaps a movie. Yes, I will be stir crazy for spring by March, but for now I am soaking up the quiet and peace of winter.
