Oklahoma Ice

There is something about ice covering everything that is just so beautiful.

It made me do something crazy.

Like bundle up my five kids today to go outside and look at it.

Even though it was nap time and we had an early rough start in the morning.

Little bit kept trying to sneak pieces of ice into her jacket pockets.

It took some tickles to get real smiles.

Little bit decided that she wanted to be like her big brother making silly faces at us and left.

Ha.

I wondered several times if it was worth it while we got jackets and boots.

It was.

So pretty.

Juggle Bubbles.

I like them because they have to be so careful to not pop them.

It is a great way to teach gentle.

My kids pretty much ran around like crazy on this little patch of grass while we waited for them to finish running.

Runners!

Hopefully we can do this again but with dad taking like 3 kids with him…

Leaving me with only 2.

I like those odds.
