The kids were outside during the storm yesterday clearing off their little ice skating rink. It's basically just a low area of the lawn where water collected and froze earlier this week.

They cleared the "rink," came back into the house and then decided not to go back outside again to ice skate. They decided at that point they were too tired.

Of course the motivation to ice skate was lessened since I told them they couldn't wear their skating outfits and tights in a nor'easter.
