Let It Snow!!

We have spent a few days out enjoying the wonder of winter. It has been really a perfect winter as we have had a whole bunch of snow but it hasn't been really that cold. I love the snow but an mot a big fan of the cold as the we can go out and play! We have been sledding, out for walks and making snowmen. Marshall really loves to be in his little snowsuit as well (I haven't managed to get a picture of it but it is cute on him.) He sees his little hands all covered up and he waves them in front of his face. He has been happy all of the times that we have had him outside in it. It has been really fun!

Well here is some of our playing out in the snow!

Elliette was building her snowman but is kept falling over. She was quite mad about this. She is such an outside girl though. She gets on all of her gear and goes out into the backyard to play a few times a day. She will do that all by herself or if her sisters will come but she just loves to be out. She has been playing in the mud, rocks and sand under the deck and then comes in to wash her toys for the next long while when she is done playing that game. It is cute and she entertains herself so well but it sure makes a huge mess with cakes mud all over the bathroom.

Kyndal with her masterpiece. She has really learned how to make a snowman well. It is fun to watch and see them gaining these building skills, like rolling the ball through the snow, stacking them and making support for it to stay on the other and then the decorating, even getting the carrot to stay in place was a problem that she learned to solve. Great learning out in the snow!


We then decided to go sledding in the font yard.

It was fun to be able to sled and not have to go anywhere.

The only problem was that there is a road at the bottom. Obviously I didn't want the kids sledding into the road. They had to stop at the sidewalk.

Elliette had a few runs as well.

The only problem was that doing this later the sidewalk was covered in snow and they slid right over it. Elliette ended up sledding right into a parked car and that hard, frozen, piece of metal sure made a huge goose-egg on her head. She had the biggest lump and bruise on her head for a week and a half after that. Maybe sledding in the front yard is not such a good idea! It was fun while it lasted.
