We have been just dumped with snow here the last couple of weeks, which has been fun and also a little bit of a pain. It has been fun because the snow is very pretty and the kids LOVE to eat snow so they are in heaven.
We have been promising them that we would take them sledding and playing out in the snow for the last couple of days, so tonight after dinner we all bundled up and went out to play!
It was getting dark so we were worried that we would freeze, but it was actually okay. Luckily the sledding hill is right across the street so we knew if the kids lost it we could just run home. However, I did learn rather quickly that it is very difficult to run in snow that is up to my thigh! Rylynn tried to tromp through it herself but she lost two boots in the process so we ended up just carrying her most of the way. The kids loved the sledding!
Our next door neighbors built some really cool snow forts and a snow tunnel on Saturday before the second big storm hit so we decided to check those out too.
The tunnel was a big hit! After it got dark the kids were ready for a hot bubble bath and some hot chocolate.
These two pictures represent what we do all morning long these days.
I split my time between talking with Rylynn's princess dolls and playing Thomas or "slides" with Carter. Sometimes Carter will come in and play dolls with us for a little while. My favorite is that he calls Rylynn's Nephi figurine "Ne-pie". I make him say it like 10 times.
Carter calls the tracks slides. He can't get enough of his trains. We seriously need to invest in a train table.
