You can almost hear the sigh from parents all over. The kids are gone back to school today and we can get back to normal routines again. No more ‘bored’ kids anymore.

We took advantage of the incredible weather yesterday with a little sledding. That little bit of freezing rain that we got overnight gave us a nice crust to the snow. We go down the bank on one side of the fish pond, onto the ice and across to the other side.I must admit that it was fun for this big kid as well as the little ones. The 14 day trend according to theweathernetwork.com is for above average temps so hopefully we can get some more good sledding in.
