This winter has been long and cold with lots of snow, ice and cold temperatures. Saturday morning JJ worked and we worked together trying to get the house clean. JJ came home at lunch and I told him we need to get out of the house. It might be cold but we need to bundle up and get some fresh air. There was a free maple sugar festival at the Daniel Boone home so we headed out there. It wasn't to cold, the ground was a little muddy but we tried to stay out of the mud the best we could. The kids ran around and loved exploring. They had some free mini pancakes with maple syrup. We watched 2 different demonstrations. The first one was how they tap the trees. The second one was how they boil the syrup down. In between walking to the exhibits we walked around and looked at the little home. It was the perfect little outing and the fresh air was good for everyone. That evening JJ and I decided to go out last minute. It was glorious to leave the kids with Lucy and head out together for the evening. The kids had been bickering and on my nerves a lot that day an getting away for a short while was perfect. We put Lucy in charge of making them dinner and then they watched a movie. We had a coupon to a restaurant at the mall so we decided to go there. We ate a nice dinner there and then stopped at a few stores. It was so nice to shop by our self and not have all the kids with us. They don't really enjoy running errands and shopping. Plus it was nice to be able to have a conversation with JJ that wasn't interrupted by the kids.
