wind challenge

saturday morning we headed out to run a few errands including stopping by home depot for the kids workshop. it wasn't a warm morning but we were not dressed warmly enough to be outside in the wind. the kids workshops are normally indoors but it was 'safety week' and they had a fire truck and other safety vehicles come. i think that there were going to be lots of other activities but we were there as they were still setting up.

for some reason madelyn really wanted to do the project with mommy - we built a fire boat. matt loved watching me struggle to keep all the pieces while the wind whipped around. i could barely see what i was doing through my hair and the small nails and other pieces kept blowing around if i would set them down to check the instructions. he thought that it was so funny and kept laughing while he took lots of pictures.

madelyn kept telling me that she was shivering and my ears were hurting from the cold wind. thankfully mason waited patiently in the cart. won't be too long before he gets to join in the fun too.

i cranked out some work work while the kids were napping and daddy was working in the yard. mason only slept for an hour or so and we decided to go out and join daddy in the yard. the kids were both pretty excited about the yard tools. while it was still very windy, it wasn't nearly as cold as it was when we went out that morning.

it was a nice way to spend a saturday morning/afternoon. and then i had to get to work. i worked several hours that night and several more hours on sunday morning before heading to the airport. i was heading off to kansas to spend a few days in the office before my doctor wouldn't let me travel any more. love.
