So the first big snow we didn't have a sled, not a true sled, I mean we could have used cookie pans, or car hoods, or whatever people use these days instead of the good old fashioned plastic sleds. So as soon as Bed, Bath & Beyond got their newest shipment of sleds in "J" and Bones went and bought a sled, and man was Bones happy about it. I thought just as soon as we bought a sled it wouldn't snow again this year, but that little boy used the sled as a fishing boat in the middle of the playroom floor for days, he would sit in it and eat his snack, he would watch cartoons, it was so funny to see him with the sled.
When it snowed over Valentine's Day weekend the first thing we did was get the sled out, and if you know Millie Grace, you know she is not afraid of anything, so she was the first to go down our driveway on the sled, now I took the job of standing at the bottom and taking pictures and of course to make sure they stopped and didn't run into any trees. Our driveway doesn't look that steep until their is a 4 year old barreling down at you going about 20 mph. ( I am sure I am exaggerating here but you get my point) So then we let Bones go down and he did a great job I got him stopped successfully before smashing into the firewood pile. Then we let them go down together, oh how sweet you say? Not so much, I can tell you from experience with 2 children in the sled it goes faster, picks up speed quicker and is definitely more difficult to stop. Now this is the part where Millie Grace started screaming and Bones learned that if you don't want to be on the sled the snow is soft and it's okay to just roll off of the thing. Needless to say every time Bones got back on the sled he would roll off, because you know that is the most fun part....and Millie Grace didn't get back on it with her brother.
We had a blast and no one came out any worse for the wear, no black eyes or broken bones, definitely thankful that day for the many, many, guardian angels we have watching out for our babies!!! LOL
