The first week of December brought enough snow (just barely) for some sledding. Normally on Thursday, Robert would have gone in to daycare. But clearly this was a day to play hooky. We headed over to "Castle Roberto" (known to the rest of the world as the Masonic Temple) to take a peek and make sure there was enough snow. Then we went back to the house and got the sled out.

It was very surprising to me that we were the only ones on the hill. There were some other tracks but no other people out. The good news was the tracks were on a part of the hill we had not been sledding on before but turned out to be perfect. So, "Thanks," to whoever left the tracks there.

After our sledding fun, we had a snack and lit a fire in the fireplace. That all made for a fun morning -- much better than daycare (I think). This was a perfect day for Robert's new snow pants and gloves: he stayed toasty warm in the 27 degree sunshine and snow. It's too bad Sarah had to work today, I'm really glad to have been able to go out and play with Robert.
