Winter :(

Winter just began and I am already ready for spring! With the kids it is tough to be stuck inside and have it get dark so early.  So far I've just been in denial and let the kids continue to play outside.  Yesterday after school it was so cold that Sofia and I sat in the car watching Charlie and Diego through the fence play kickball on the blacktop.  Needless to say, everyone has a runny nose around here.

Fortunately this past weekend was super nice. We did the usual sports on Saturday and on Sunday Carlos took care of ALL of the kids so I could run a 10k.  Everyone survived.  Carlos wasn't in a great mood when I got home, but in much less of a bad mood than I expected so I'm already planning the next one.



Diego and I went to run around the gardens at the Hillwood Estate while Charlie went on his first movie date with Cici.

By Sunday afternoon Diego was so tired and grumpy that when we got home from a bike ride, he went upstairs and crashed on the bed with his helmet and shoes on.  Poor kid.  He slept from 5:45pm to 7am!  I did manage to take off the helmet and shoes.

Sofia still doesn't have any teeth, but she wants to be a big kid and catch up with her brothers!  She loves to try to walk around, but shows no interest in crawling.   She is super sweet and is slowly getting back to her normal routine of waking up once a night.  For the last few weeks she has been getting up a lot during the night.  Here she is laughing when I tickle her.
