On Friday, I came home early from work, bundled Nathan into his winter snow outfit and headed to the local sledding hill! It was on this outing that I learned two valuable lessons:
Firstly, if you need a good cardio workout, try dragging a 40 pound child on a sled up a hill on a continuous basis!! This will either help you burn hundreds of calories, or kill you!
Secondly, when you are sledding, fall into the snow a couple of times and feel something uncomfortably cold around your crotch, check to ensure that your fly is zipped up! Mine wasn't......
On Saturday evening, Liesel and I took Nathan and Joshua out to a restaurant of Nathan's choice. This was because Nathan had such a wonderful report from his Preschool teacher. Liesel had her first ever Parent-Teacher conference on Thursday, and his teacher only had praise for him! So as a reward, he could choose where to dine that evening, and I must say that he made an excellent choice! Liesel and I had some delicious hamburgers, and then we all finished the meal off with steaming hot chocolate chip cookies straight out of the oven!
On Sunday, I was up early as I was playing in the worship band at Church which I always enjoy! The rest of the day was laid back, as we were blessed with blue skies and temperatures above freezing. Nathan and I used up some excess energy playing the Wii, and also spent some time outdoors on the driveway - since this was the only part that didn't have knee-deep snow!
