finding my inner kid

I am definitely feeling the winter blues.  I feel so indoor bound. I hate the cold. I hate being cold. I get chills in our house and it's at 71 degrees. I know I live in Montana, deal with it right? Enough is enough already. Snow, you need to move on. In the meantime, while I am stuck with you, I guess make the most of it? Yesterday Jeff knew just what I needed. When he got home he insisted Brody and I go outside with him. I thought it was a good idea if just Daddy and Brody went outside to play but Jeff was relentless. So we all bundled up to get a dose of fresh air. Truthfully, if I am out in the cold doing something, like shoveling snow, it's not as bad because I convince myself I am getting in a workout. Being idle in the cold doesn't do it for me. So I picked up a handful of snow, shaped it into a ball and the next thing I know, this is happening:

It was fabulous. I am pretty sure Jeff and I had more fun than Brody. As is evident from the pictures, he was more interested in getting his first tastes of snow then building with it. I can not remember the last time I built a snow man, Jeff couldn't either. And again, my husband knew just what I needed. I needed to get outside, breathe the cold air, feel the sun on my face. And, of all things, tap into my inner kid.
