yesterday, daddy went to work and i got to work at home with finding homes for the new toys but we still found some time to brave the mall and pick up a few deals. the kids and i spent some time outside while waiting for daddy since it was another warm and sunny day.
we couldn't believe that we were going to have an even warmer day today - 53! and still sunny! (where we live is the cloudiest place in the country and sunny days this time of year are very rare.) with no plans, we set out on a family walk after lunch. all four kids walked the entire three miles - without complaining! it was that nice out. (manning was carried for about 10 minutes at the half-way point to 'rest').

| we stopped for some shoe tying and i thought a group picture was in order. apparently, we were facing the sun. oops. |

| blue skies for miles |
we were all refueled by some starbucks (coffee for me and daddy and peppermint hot chocolate for the kids) and the half-way point. the kids ran most of the way back! we were all ready for a little snack when we got home so i let the kids eat this 'gingerbread men' we made before christmas. they received rave reviews from the kids. they are made from marshmallows assembled, dipped in water and then a sugar, cinnamon, ginger mix. we were going to decorate them, but i decided it wasn't worth the effort. maybe next year... love.

Glad you're getting to enjoy some blue skies and sunshine before the gray weather sets in for a bit... who knows, maybe it won't. According to Kinley the cold weather has passed and it will not be cold again.
I think we've had all your gray skies here!! We did have the sun peak out later in the afternoon. We took Derek & Ashley to Prairie Fire Museum and it was cloudy -- not near as pretty. Afterwards we went to the Plaza and had a nice walk, Italian food and enjoyed the lights. Weather is to get colder but more sun. Yesterday was warm -- didn't need a coat, really.
