What to do with cabin fever...

Michael convinced me that Mehandis should try out his sled on an actual hill this year... so we gave it a go. I was pretty nervous seeing other kids on the sled hill with snow boards and tubes, but we chose the less populated side with less of a decline. Michael was right about Mehandis liking it. As soon as he and his smile got to the bottom he requested "Again!". Don't you think it looks like a scary steep hill? Yikes.

Sledding is a great way to conquer the cold, or at least if you are the one pulling the sled up the hill!

I think we will bring hot chocolate for Mehandis next time... since he had shivers for a while after returning inside.

Apparently Mehandis is tiring of his indoor toys, as he shows that more fun can be had with ALL of our tupperware.

Another new favorite winter past time is "shoveling" with Michael. Mehandis has his own shovel hanging in the garage next to his dad's, and whenever we are going in or out of the car he cries out "Shobel? Dad?". So Michael, being the great dad that he is, now occasionally shovels with Mehandis after work... even when there is no snow.
