It's not very often that the kids get along without either arguing, or going nuts, roughhousing, or just generally being hyper and annoying the shit out of me. It's like there's no middle ground with them.
Tonight, the snow really started coming down. The first snow of the winter. We went out to play in the snow a bit, and took the dog out for a walk. We ran into one of the kids' friends as we walked, who they invited along with us. They wanted to take the dog to the park. I wanted to let them have their fun together, (and I was soaking wet) so I left them to it. But I got a picture as they left.
It does me good to see the four of them, my kids and their friend, walking along just talking and being there. No fighting, no craziness. Just enjoying the moment and each others' company.
