Wheeeee!!!!!

Grandma and Grandpa Bleything gave the boys a sled - we thought maybe they would go out in the snow if they were being pulled in a sled. So, we bundled them up again and outside we went! It was pretty nice out so we thought maybe the cold wouldn't bother them as much.

1st attempt at a sled ride:

You will notice that Ben seems to be OK with it but Sam is scared. It is becoming apparent that Sam got a double dose of his mom in him- he is exactly like me- he's scared of everything! Even today, we took them to walk around Ward Parkway mall because no one is ever there and they have free reign to run around. There is a kids section at the mall with a bunch of toys to ride on (30 second ride for 75 cents- a total rip-off, if you ask me!). Anyway, Ben was having a hay day playing on all the toys and getting inside. Sam, on the other hand, wanted to be picked up when I just put him in the toy helicopter. I hope he grows out of this because I really don't want him to get that part of my personality.

So, we took Sam out of the sled and I held him the rest of the time. Matt pulled Ben around the backyard and Ben loved it!! He is definitely our adventourous lil guy :) Notice the two scaredy-cats in the back-ground:


Thank you G and G Bleything for the sled! I'm sure we will have many years of fun in it...even Sam!
