Winter Fun!

We finally got some snow. Well, it was almost snow. As predicted it started snowing early Saturday morning last week. I can verify that it didn't start here until after 4:50 am. I was up with one kid or another all throughout the night and kept checking on the status of the snow, hoping we'd have something by daylight. We did. Just a couple inches. The snow was followed by rain, making a perfect sledding recipe. The colds and fevers that kept the kids awake all night did nothing to contain their excitement for playing in the snow. We were all bundled up and out the door as soon as the rain let up. The next day was very sunny and quite a bit warmer making it that much more enjoyable to be outside. The melting snow and dropping temps set us up for a very slippery Monday morning and many school cancellations. As for the fevers and colds, well they are the reason this blog has waited almost a week to get posted. It's been a very long and tiring week. I'm ready for spring.

Camryn on Sunday afternoon. Check out the road. We don't get plowed-out down in the south, and when temps drop at night that mess on the roads freezes just like that.

My little snow bunny, dressed and ready to play! She loved the snow!

Ben and Kate at the bottom of our neighbors 'snow' hill. Ben was getting brave by this point. We are all lucky we didn't end up in the ER that day.

Trying hard to make a snow man. It didn't happen.

Sledding at the neighbors' house. They have the perfect slope for sledding, sending kids down into the road and back up the neighbors yard across the street. It's great when there's no one on the roads. Unfortunately the kids that live there also think it's great for riding those things you use to scoot under a car to change the oil. Yeah, they 'ride' that down the hill into the road right in front of cars. Watch for them the next time you come over.

Will's "don't take my picture" face. Makes me laugh every time.

I love the helmet. Granted they did play football for a little bit, but I think he forgot he was wearing it and kept it on the entire time we were outside.

Notice how little snow there really is. The kids had a blast anyway.

Bound to happen. Didn't stop him from doing it over and over again. Will, being smaller and more coordinated, was awesome at it. We really need to get that boy on a board on a mountain!
