The Maddy Sled

By the time we got to Wednesday of this week's snow, the top layer had iced over. It was still a thin enough layer that when you walked, your foot would go through. But, if you're Patrick, it seems like a good way to try out being a penguin...



Patrick slid around on his tummy yelling "I'm just like a penguin Mom and Dad!" and "Look Maddy! Do you see I'm a penguin?!" for a good part of the afternoon. Madelyn of course wanted to try it out too because anything Patrick does must be worth doing. Since she was all wrapped up in her snowsuit though, she couldn't really move. So, instead, this happened...



She seriously loved doing this. You can kind of see in the second part of the video where she sticks her little foot up so I'll grab it. Madelyn would lay perfectly still the entire time she slid down and then when we got to the bottom she'd giggle and try to move herself down more or put her foot up so I'd keep pulling her. Who woulda thought? We got some better video today (i.e.; not taken with my phone in MMS mode) and I can hopefully put together a video of the last couple days of snow along with the pictures.
