Snow

It doesn't take much snow to get us excited around here.  We've had snow two weeks in a row, which is pretty much unheard of!  Last week, we only got about 1/2 an inch and didn't bother to do much playing, but I did let the boys get out and explore a bit:

Yesterday, we got a little over an inch - just enough to go sledding!  (and, thankfully, to keep Daddy home from work for the morning to assist with sledding!)

 

Ethan, all bundled up and ready to go

Trying out the sled on flat ground to start

Up the hill they go

Best I could do while holding him and the camera... and waiting for the big boys to come down the hill

Think they liked it?

We got Daddy to help with the picture :)

Ethan's turn!

Despite what his face might suggest, he immediately asked for "again" when they stopped

Not a bad view from the top of the hill

Sledding gets a little more extreme when you get to ride with Daddy!

 Of course, hot chocolate is pretty much a requirement after playing outside in the snow:

Next up on the activity list was play dough - we made a big batch of our own, and they played with it for a loooong time.  Even Ethan enjoyed it, but I didn't get any pictures because I was too busy reminding him not to eat it ;-)

The final planned activity of the day was rice krispie treat snowmen.

Eager to get started

Ryan really grasped the concept

Kaeden.... not so much

He called his finished creation, "The monster"

It was busy, and a little crazy at times, but we had a great snow day.  I'm glad the boys get a little bit of a taste of real winter every now and again :)
