Saturday is a special day

Just a month ago, we called Saturdays "Mommy, Daddy, and Kai days". We loved spending our time together and Kai loved having two parents to dote on him.

With Finn's arrival, Kai has a hard time getting one parent to dote on him, let along two. But the last two Saturdays, Kai has had some good outdoor fun with his daddy and I think it's been good for both of them.

On Halloween, the weather was in the mid-50s, but thanks to the shade from our house and trees, we still had snow on the ground from a large snow storm earlier in the week. Kai and Reid decided to take Kai's sled outside and give it a test run. It turned into a fun hour or so playing in the snow. They sledded, built a snowman, threw snowballs, and Reid demonstrated how to make a snow angel. Since grandma was here, she watched Finn inside and I got to join in the fun. It was a lot of fun! After they were done, Reid brought Kai in and introduced him to "warm" chocolate. He thought it was great!

This past Saturday had some more nice temperatures, and so Reid wanted to rake the leaves. I sent Kai outside with him and they had fun playing in the leaves. Reid made a big pile and showed Kai how to run through it and fall in it. Kai loved the raking and didn't want to come in.


With everything else going on, I'm glad Kai is getting in some good old-fashioned play time and that I can occasionally even join in! Fun family moments.

These are great pictures! My favorite one is of Reid and Kai in the leaves. It needs to be framed! I'm glad they are having such good times together.
