We took the kids ice skating tonight at the outdoor rink in Midway (about 10 minutes away). We had a really fun time, although my back and arms are SORE from bending over to help Carinne for such a long time! Some of the kids protested before we went, lamenting that ice skating would be SOOO boring. But everyone had a fantastic time, and, of course, didn't want to leave to come home!
On our way home, Christian was doing this "slurp, AHHH!" noise in the car, and Camille joked, "Christian's drinking air!" We all giggled, and then she exclaimed, "He's not drinking air; he's drinking the snow off his boot!" I looked back there, and sure enough, the little monkey had pulled off his boot and was sucking the (dirty) snow off the bottom of his boot! Ewwww! What a disturbingly resourceful little guy! I grabbed the boot and we got him a big drink of clean (!) water the moment we got home. Too funny!
Too funny! I can totally see him with his boot to his cute little mouth. Glad kids don't die from a little dirt once in awhile. :0)
