Snow Fun

The kids woke up to a wonderful surprise this morning...snow! We have had the craziest weather the past few weeks full of lots of rain, flooding, and now snow. And enough snow to build a snowman! The kids could hardly wait to get outside and play in it. I gave Taylor a lesson in snowman building and she and Boston had a blast rolling their snowballs around the yard.

Maddox even seemed to be enjoying himself and liked getting a little fresh air...we've been slightly cooped up the last couple weeks! After a few minutes, he decided he'd rather enjoy the view from his stroller parked in the garage and out of that brisk fresh air. Since I wasn't holding him anymore, I decided to get in on the snowman fun. My snowman skills are a little rusty but I had elements working against me. For one, the snow was wet...really wet and melting so when I went to stack the balls, it collapsed. And second, a certain 3 year old thought it would be a fun idea to knock it down once I finally got it together. But I prevailed, and the outcome was quite the sight!
When I told the kids to pose with the snowman, Taylor hugged it and Boston picked up a snowball to throw at me...typical boy.Before we went inside, the kids had to make a few snow angels and since all the snow in the grass was used up, the opted for the sidewalk and rocks!
It was a fun morning for both the kids and I and they can't stop asking when it's going to snow again...I hope it's not too soon, I'm ready for some warmer weather!
