Because its BEAUTIFUL out!

Corynn and I have been walking to school and home each day for the past few weeks. She really looks forward to doing it and has a blast- walking in the morning, picking up leaves and then chatting about her gloriously exciting day all the way home.

Today we were asked on two separate occasions- "If we would like a ride?"

Now... it is that hard to believe that someone would find pleasure in walking? It was absolutely BEAUTIFUL today! Sunny skies, huge white fluffy clouds, a cool autumn breeze - PERFECTION!

My rationalization for walking a mile to school with pucca... its exercise, it helps expend some of that never-ending 5 year-old energy she seems to have, it uses up some lag time we have between the bus schedule (twins) and her school schedule, its good mom and daughter time to chat about things, and simply put -we like it!!

Pucca just says- its because we're going green! I don't know where she got that and am quite certain she doesn't even know what it means.

Our fingers are crossed - hoping that the snow stays off for a few more months!!

We always walked when we lived close to school( the same school I believe!), when it was nice and when it was not nice! People always asked me if I wanted a ride too, no way!
