Where can you play "Kick-the-Can" on January 10th, 2011?

River Falls!!!
Just after dinner tonight, as part of Sophia's homework from school today, the 5 of us spilled out into our front yard for an improtu game.  It was hilarious, amazing and just what we all needed :).  The actual assignment was simple: "GO OUTSIDE AND PLAY and be prepared to write about it tomorrow!"  Oh the stories Sophia will be able to write about!!  From daddy doing a goofy get-away dance (trying to avoid being tagged) to Carter's boot flying off when he went to kick the can--- Cecelia giggling like crazy over the whole charade and me practicing my "tree pose" in an attempt to stand in the shadows of the real trees--- We all just had a blast.  
Truly who would have imagined a winter like this.  Whatever snow was left in our yard has melted away with today's warmth.  I'm surely not complaining, but I can't help but feel like we're all starting to hold our breath for a "snowmageddon" or a "blizzardpalooza"..... surely there must be one around here somewhere?!?!  In the meantime, if you see some crazy people running around in a yard on winter street just after dinnertime on any given night... well stop in and join us!  :)

PS--- I posted more random "hand-stitched" pictures yesterday on the other blog-- check it out if you'd like. :
