We had our first big snow storm of the year! It's not the first time it snowed, but it's the first time it's snowed enough to play in :) The kids were so excited...even though it was freezing!!! I wasn't really excited about going out in the cold so I made Cole and Ellie wait for Dax to take a nap to go out and I watched from inside the house...at first.
Ellie had to put on every warm pink thing she could find, and Cole had to have a face mask so he wore his storm trooper mask :)
The kids had a lot of fun making and throwing snow balls, and then making snow angels!
They decided they wanted to make a snow bear instead of a snowman. They came running in frustrated and begging for help after a few minutes. I decided to be a good mom and go out to help them. Then I realized why they were so frustrated-the snow was more icy than powdery. It was really hard to get it to stick together in the shape of a ball. We did our best and managed a baby snowbear :) The kids were pretty proud so I guess it was a success!
After we warmed up with some hot chocolate the kids were ready to head back out. I decided to keep up the good mom facade and take Dax out to play as well. I'm glad I did because he loved it! He had a blast which made it fun for me too. It's amazing how these kids can help me enjoy things that I normally wouldn't. They sure bring a lot of joy into my life!!
