Outside in the Cold

Peanut wants to go outside!

Getting warm clothes on so we can play outside. For those of you who know, how much of an Armbruster is that little Victor? His Grammie looked EXACTLY like that at his age. As did his Auntie Autumn.

The boys have learned that our back gate leads to big weeds, dusty trails, and a playground, so going out into the backyard has become very popular. Of course, as soon as we put them outside they climb up onto the top terrace (about 15 feet from ground level - a bit dicey) and start fiddling with the gate latch. So we have to be quite vigilant. But occasionally they have fun for a few minutes in the backyard before heading out to the wilderness.Yes, we are that ghetto family that still has this summer's play pool cluttering up the side yard. More fun than a swingset!
