We are Eskimos!

Lucas is feeling MUCH better. Thank goodness. We had a slow start to the day, he was afraid to sit up but once he got a dose of painkiller and rested a little bit longer he was good to know.

After breakfast he agreed to go for a walk to get donuts (today is the last day where they are available, lent starts tomorrow). Lucas and Lea piled up on the sled we headed off. Luckily there is still quite a bit of snow and Lucas only has to get off to cross the street. On the way home he even got off, walked a bit and played in the snow banks. We also had a very valuable lesson in yellow snow today. Lucas threw snow in the air and a bit landed on Lea's face. She stuck out her tongue and sucked it up. Lucas looked at me funny and I said it was okay, it would turn to water in her mouth. So, Lucas turned around, grabbed some snow and put it in his mouth. It wasn't until it was in his mouth that I realized he had just grabbed it from the yellow mound behind him! I made him spit it out and since he's still well I assume it's not going to kill him. We did take the opportunity to discuss which colour snow can be eaten in the future.
