The Snow Is Back!

Winter weather is upon us & just in time for Christmas! The kids are thrilled to play out in the snow again and are slowly relearning to get themselves dressed in all the gear. Each morning is a little touch & go as we nudge them along through breakfast, getting dressed, teeth, hair & finally getting outerwear on. We haven't missed the bus yet but there have been a few close calls!Honey decided to be brave and climb the tree this time and got quite a ways up and managed to get herself back down afterwards. She got a little nervous when she realized I couldn't come up and get her but she figured it out.

And even when we're outside playing, there's still lots to fight about! Sweetie made this huge snowball the other day when the snow was packy and was trying to roll it around the yard but it's getting pretty heavy & hard to move. Lovey started helping her push it and they were moving it along easily. Insert problem here.
Sweetie: I don't want her pushing it! I want to do it myself
Me: but you can't do it yourself, you were stuck!
Sweetie: It's MY snowball, MINE!
Me: she's helping you get it over there though
Sweetie: I DON'T WANT HER TO DO IT!!!!!!

and then collapsed to the ground to have a proper crying/screaming fit
