Let it Snow, Let it Snow, Let it Snow!!!
We had our own Choir of Snow Angels in our driveway today. After making a snowman, snowballs, and sledding, it seems that making Snow Angels was the favorite winter pastime. When we asked Olivia who taught her how to do that....she said, "I saw it on a movie!" Geeze, they're already being influenced by TV!
I was on camcorder duty when both kids decided to nail me with snowballs! Thank goodness they had on 17 layers so their aim was off due to limited range of motion! The camcorder made it safe through all of the excitement.
We'd heard that it was bad out, but it really looked harmless. Just a little snow, right? Well, if you notice in the picture above, they've roped off the top of this hill in our subdivision and roped off the entrance at the bottom of the hill....so 10 families are stuck...with our very own SNOW MOUNTAIN!!! All of the kids in the neighborhood came to our hill and took advantage of the slippery slopes. They brough cooler tops, pool floats, and some even had real sleds - but all of them had REAL FUN!! Daddy and Olivia took a ride down the road and had a blast. And yes, that harmless wet spot at the top of the hill is the ever so infamous black ice. Mommy knows first hand...she slipped and slid half way down on her bottom. No sled required!
The two Winter Wonders loved getting out and playing in the white mess. But they didn't dare leave the house without their sunglasses!
Poor Zachary has been sick all week. Despite waking up fever-free this morning, he wasn't up for much playtime. After about 15 minutes, he was ready to call it a day.
After soaking through 4 pairs of gloves, Olivia finally gave in to her freezing hands and decided to call it a day herself.
Only 4 neighbors had to sacrifice mailboxes to provide all of the neighborhood kids with a few hours of snowy fun! Thanks Mailboxless Neighbors!!!
