Suckers for Punishment

Yesterday was the warmest day of the week, and that is not saying much 😳 It was still freezing out, but we were a little desperate. Some of us were, anyway.

😳

Also, the kids hadn’t eaten as much supper as they usually do, and we had six egg in a holes that were going to go to waste. So we threw them in a bag and bundled up to go walk them over to Cher’s house for her dogs. 

It. Was. Freezing. But it was still a pretty cute gig. 

The walk there wasn’t too bad. It was just that the wind was pretty biting. The walk back was another story 😆 Yet another walk where we just put our heads down and powered through! As we walked, I tried to remind them how nice it was being outside. Hahaha! It was an effort, anyway. They all agreed, as the wind left them breathless. 💨 (Did you know the wind emoji is also the fart emoji? Lol!)

Everyone was tired and freezing when we got home, which was actually perfect for bedtime. We let the kids take a breather before we started bedtime stuff, and I’ve gotta say it was our smoothest bedtime in a while. Not in the way that no one struggled. They did. But they didn’t get up a bunch or make up any excuses. They were ready to sleep. I love when that happens. 

It was a really nice way to wrap up the day. A little miserable outside but totally worth going out in it! That being said, I REALLY anticipate warmer weather!
