Tropical Girls
Well, after two days of snow it is very clear that we have tropical girls. Yesterday JaJa and I took the girls sledding down to the neighborhood park. Children were sledding. Dogs were frolicking. Adults were sliding by on cross-country skis. (Video will be forthcoming, as soon as I figure out how to edit it.) The girls, they were not thrilled by any of this. Stoic would pretty much cover it. After about 20 minutes Heike had had enough, started crying and wanted to go home. NOW.
We tried again today, with decidedly mixed results. They agreed to go outside.
Heike insisted on bringing Puppy along; there’s safety in numbers, you know.
Lucky for Heike Oma knitted them nice warm hats.
By now Sarah is already looking a bit anxious about all this snow.
Leaning for a closer look.
When you’re two gloves are just an annoyance.
From here we managed to walk down the driveway and around the corner. We made it about 25 feet up the road when, without warning, Sarah decided that she was done. She turned on her heel and tromped right back down the road, turning around twice to shout “Heike! COME!’. (Yep, Sarah is the dominant twin. Most of the time.)
She proceeded to march right back to our house and up the driveway, pausing only once to fall in the snow. After I opened the back gate they went directly to the back door and started beating on it to get back inside.
Final Snow Day Score:

The pictures are just too sweet - they look so cute! Well done.
Given that it’s about 80F here and the sun is just blasting down, this does look a little surreal to me… oops… wrong topic… moving right along….
I’m so sorry our girls don’t like the snow. Maybe Papa can teach them how wonderful it is to play outside in the snow…

Maybe Papa can do this in Germany! Ooops, wait, no snow there. Very, very cute photo essay.

I actually said to david yesterday “I’ll bet you karen’s out in the snow with the twins right now… I hope they’re having fun… I wonder if she’s cursing Dirk for being nice and warm in australia…”
:)
We have you scheduled for Fun on Tuesday night!
