Baby it's Cold Outside!

It was freezing outside today!  After homeschooling, the boys were begging to go outside in the sunny, blue sky afternoon.  They wanted to go hiking but it was much too cold and insanely windy to tote Alistair around in the carrier.  We compromised by bundling up and going sledding.  I figured this was a relatively safe bet as we could abandon ship at any point if anyone got too chilly.  

We lasted a grand total of fifteen minutes.  The wind on the hill was unbelievable.   As soon as Seamus got hit in the nose by his new sled flying around haphazardly in the gusting wind and Alistair took his mittens off and refused to put them back on, we were done.  Liam got in four solid runs before we called it quits but even he was chilled to the bone.

We cranked the heat in the van and headed straight home where I warmed the kiddos up with toasty bubble baths and warm, cozy jammies.  Baby it's cold outside!
