sunshine day.

We had two days of above freezing temperatures and ooooooh how I enjoyed them.  Henry got to go outside at school yesterday, the second time since he started attending on December 9, 2013.  On our way home from work and school last night he laughed almost the entire way because the sun was so bright he couldn't keep his eyes open.  When we got home he didn't even bother going inside, he sat in his car and went for a drive.  He climbed up snow banks and went down the other side even though I warned him not to because the snow on the other side was really, really deep.  We cracked up as he yelled for help because he was stuck in waist deep snow on the other side of the snow bank.  He laughed maniacally when I tried to rescue him and got stuck.  He splashed in the puddles of slush and muddy water.  He threw snowballs, "Look mom!  I'm Verlander!" but not too many since he also refused to wear his mittens.  Yes, I'm a terrible mom for letting him play in the snow and slush and mud without boots and mittens but at the time, I wanted him, us, to enjoy every single moment of sunshine and when I tried to stop him to get bundled up, he laughed and ran away.  When he got cold he said it was time to go inside to warm up.  We took off his soaked socks and pants and cuddled in the rocking chair, still laughing about all the fun we just had. 

Today we have another winter weather advisory in effect for sleet, snow, rain, freezing rain, thunderstorms, and wind gusts up to 55 mph.  It is dark and grey outside my window so I will close my blinds and remember yesterday.
