Sledding in March

as i was getting the girls ready to pick isaiah up, i thought about all the times i went sledding as a kid. so, at the last second, i grabbed the sled and headed over to the school. we drove up and saw dozens of parents who had the same idea. all the kids had let out and were sledding, having snowball fights, making giant snowmen, and snow angels. isaiah ran out smiling when he saw the sled, "we're sledding?! yes!!" and off they went. samiyah was out for a bit and then she fell asleep, so i put her back in her carseat and headed back out to play with the kids. isaiah and makayah went sledding with their friend, charlie and his little brother henry, while i talked with jen (charlie's mom). she is great and fun to talk to. as much as i've come to hate hanging out in the cold snow, i'm so glad i made the sacrifice for my kids to have some fun in it. but seriously, what is it about being a kid and numb to the cold? i remember staying out in the snow sledding for HOURS. no way could i do that now. i'd rather be warm and cozy sipping cocoa inside my house. snow may be just another one of those things one outgrows...or maybe just me. none the less, the kids had so much fun, and we had hot cocoa with whipped cream and marshmallows when we came home. perfect ending.
