Snow Day

We finally got a snow day! After a day of freezing rain, on Wednesday we woke up to a white yard instead of brown grass! The snow was very wet and heavy - we had one large tree branch down and our evergreen tree was bent over under the weight of the ice and snow. The boys were excited to break out the snow pants and boots.

Honestly, this may be the first snowman we've ever made because the snow has always been so dry.


What a helper!


This was the real fun: The low spot in our front yard had lots of water and they loved adding more snow to it and then jumping up and down in the sludge...for about 20 minutes. Best part for me: The boots we got this year kept their socks and feet totally dry!


I had to get out the camera when I saw Henry using his toes to hold cards during our game of Old Maid. Is he talented or what?
