We started out by working on the computer a bit...Ben loves the Fisher Price website, and is having lots of luck with his new wireless mouse...
We went up to Malone to go shopping at IBC and Walmart (not just any Walmart, a Super Walmart...and let me tell you...it's not just a clever name...)Ben's done massive amounts of growing in the last few months...he's 42 inches tall and weighs 46 pounds...so we got 3 new pairs of shoes, 2 new pairs of snowpants/bibs, a parka, 2 hats, a neck-gator, 2 pairs of mittens, a couple of outfits, socks and underwear aplenty, and a super lunch at a funky McDonald's with a 50's diner theme...we drove back down, and ran into snow about halfway down...
We ended up getting about 5 inches in all overnight, Ben gave me his tummy troubles, and we headed out this morning on a whole new set of adventures...but not before placing an early-morning singing message/wakeup call to Ben's Grandmother
Happy Birthday Muz!!!
We stopped in to see Ben's personal hair consultant, Patty...he was long overdue for a haircut, and looks great now...
After the haircut, we headed over to the playground at Petrova Elementary School...here, he can be seen modelling his new parka, snowpants/bib, boots, mittens, and monster-hat (not visible is the Backyardigans outfit he is wearing underneath the cold-weather gear)...
We had the playground to ourselves...not surprisingly, given the snow-cover, but that didn't stop us from having fun...
After Ben broke a trail through the snow on the slides, it was amazingly fast going...after the first couple of times, he actually caught some air going over the lip at the bottom of the biggest blue slide...
On our way home, we drove by the SLHS playing fields and saw (click on the photo to see it larger...) the SLHS football team warming up for a football game...Ben thought it was funny, while I remembered playing football in cool rainy weather as being unpleasant when you made contact with other players at high speed...
