Green Juice / Smoothie Cleanse

hi everyone!! did you see the beautiful snow today? it was brief but fabulous to see. i was walking out of the Playseum in bethesda when i saw the snow flurries!! the boys were sooooo excited!!
if you have not been to the Playseum in bethesda you must go. it is a great place to let kids explore and have fun especially on a cold windy day like today. i was hoping to get the boys out playing tennis again today but the weather did not cooperate.
