Oh, The Promises We Make!

It's one of those things that seem like a novel idea...until the kids actually hold us to it! We mentioned to our kids that we MIGHT go sledding over Christmas with their cousins, but when they translate our words from parent talk to kid talk, it suddenly goes from a mild suggestion to a 'parent promise'! So all day we were reminded that we 'promised' to take them sledding. It really shouldn't be a big deal, to get our lazy butts out sledding, but it always is. Really though, going from a nice warm house with pleasant adult conversation and really really good food, to freezing cold temperatures (like 10 degrees...no exaggeration) and the physical exurtion of pulling the littlest sledders back up the hill, it should be a no brainer! But when all was said and done, we're really glad they (the little people) made us do it. We had a great time, and we made some great memories. We rummaged through all of the old snow clothes at Grandma Moser's house and used some of the contributions from Grandma Swaner's Christmas stocking (mainly the cute bumble bee hat that I'm wearing which was a gift to Myah), and then the nephew who wore just jeans and a sweatshirt (the smart gene skipped a few of us Mosers)! But we really had a great time. And there was even pie left for us when we got back to the house!
