Ahhhhhhh!!!!!!!!

Yup, the title sums it up. I've gone crazy...literally. This is the third day we have been stuck at home. (I can't quite remember why I chose to stick around on Tuesday, but definitely regret it.) The kids have gone stir crazy....we ALL have gone crazy! But we tried to make the best of everything....tried is the key word:) So, this morning started out normal. Had breakfast. Than it all went haywire. Skyler decided he desperately needed to have a full blown crying fit about something. I can't even recall the reason, it's just unlike him. All this pent up boredom had to go somewhere. And Sadie figured, hey, why not? I'll join him! So she decided to cry hysterically for no reason. They were both crying for what seemed like forever. I decided I needed a break. Went to the bathroom. They followed me in. Crying. Sadie decided to she HAD to sit on my lap. Skyler just stood in the doorway. I know I'll miss these moments one day when they want their independence. But today? It's taking every ounce of self control not to just run! SO, I decided to take them to play in the snow. I mean, what kid doesn't like to play in the snow? Skyler loved it...had a blast. Sadie? Not so much. Apparently 10 inches of snow is too much for her and she just cried. And fell. She was constantly saying her "ow's" and "helps!". But when I show you the pics of how I bundled her, you'll understand. The poor thing couldn't really move. She did a face plant in the snow. Or had snow down her jacket. So, maybe not the best idea. But did I mention Skyler had fun? Thank goodness for a new day tomorrow:)

This is the 'bundled' version of Sadie. She didn't have boots, so she had baggies on the inside and outside of her shoes. She was definitely not happy about it, but my little invention worked and she had warm and dry feet when we came inside:)
Poor thing couldn't move. She'd stand, walk a step, and fall. Then yell, "help!". Although slightly amusing, I did feel for her:)
Here she is in the first few moments of being outside when she didn't really know what was happening. It was all downhill from here! But she looks super cute:)
Skyler just loves the snow...he'd stay out there all day.
Warming up with hot chocolate and snacks.
Desperate to keep them happy. PICNIC in front of the tv. They loved it! And hey, 10 minutes of happy kids = a happy mommy.
