Happy Winter!<br \/>\n    It&#8217;s actually been really nice snow. A lot of it, of course,<br \/>\n    but its light and fluffy and not too windy, so we&#8217;ve been<br \/>\n    having fun playing outside. Today I bundled them both up for<br \/>\n    some outdoor fun. Eve ended up angry because our neighbor was<br \/>\n    not home (she really wanted him to come out and play!) but Lex<br \/>\n    had a blast. We walked around the yard for awhile (that in and<br \/>\n    of itself is an adventure!) then up and down the street, then<br \/>\n    headed into the back yard to play on the &#8220;snow slide&#8221; and try<br \/>\n    to find the picnic table. I think I need to get Lex a scarf<br \/>\n    though. He spent the entire time licking the top of the zipper<br \/>\n    on his snow suit. Almost every photo I took has him with his<br \/>\n    tongue out. Crazy kid! I&#8217;ve been lucky so far that they seem to<br \/>\n    get bored\/cold\/tired\/whatever after 30-45 minutes, which<br \/>\n    coincides with when I&#8217;m getting bored\/cold\/tired\/whatever :) So<br \/>\n    we all go in and have warm chocolate milk and life is<br \/>\n    good.<\/p>\n<div style=\"text-align: center;\"><a onblur=\"try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e)\n    {}\" href=\"http:\/\/1.bp.blogspot.com\/_xGc8ytldDks\/SU7l3pwGrTI\/AAAAAAAAFjE\/Sr53Ue90UVY\/s1600-h\/IMG_3850.JPG\"><img decoding=\"async\" style=\"margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align:\n    center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 225px;\" src=\"http:\/\/1.bp.blogspot.com\/_xGc8ytldDks\/SU7l3pwGrTI\/AAAAAAAAFjE\/Sr53Ue90UVY\/s400\/IMG_3850.JPG\" alt=\"\" id=\"BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5282412157215354162\" border=\"0\" \/><\/a><span style=\"font-style: italic;\">A little<br \/>\n    boy in the front yard.<\/span><\/div>\n<p><\/p>\n<div style=\"text-align: center;\"><a onblur=\"try\n    {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}\" href=\"http:\/\/4.bp.blogspot.com\/_xGc8ytldDks\/SU7l268I-aI\/AAAAAAAAFi8\/PQeY6WR1ALQ\/s1600-h\/IMG_3848.JPG\"><img decoding=\"async\" style=\"margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align:\n    center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 225px;\" src=\"http:\/\/4.bp.blogspot.com\/_xGc8ytldDks\/SU7l268I-aI\/AAAAAAAAFi8\/PQeY6WR1ALQ\/s400\/IMG_3848.JPG\" alt=\"\" id=\"BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5282412144649370018\" border=\"0\" \/><\/a><span style=\"font-style: italic;\">Flop!<br \/>\n    Down he goes!<\/span><\/div>\n<p><\/p>\n<div style=\"text-align: center;\"><a onblur=\"try\n    {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}\" href=\"http:\/\/3.bp.blogspot.com\/_xGc8ytldDks\/SU7l39jbHKI\/AAAAAAAAFjM\/nf_SrrgK2LQ\/s1600-h\/IMG_3857.JPG\"><img decoding=\"async\" style=\"margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align:\n    center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 225px;\" src=\"http:\/\/3.bp.blogspot.com\/_xGc8ytldDks\/SU7l39jbHKI\/AAAAAAAAFjM\/nf_SrrgK2LQ\/s400\/IMG_3857.JPG\" alt=\"\" id=\"BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5282412162530876578\" border=\"0\" \/><\/a><span style=\"font-style: italic;\">I tried<br \/>\n    to get a picture of them sitting together on the picnic table<br \/>\n    (see it?)
