Snow!!!

After a weekend of non-stop rain, the snow finally began to fall Sunday night around dinner time. The boys were sooo excited- the last time it "snowed", we only got a light dusting. So after a nice warm dinner of soup, potato pancakes and hot chocolate, they bundled up and headed outside and played for over an hour! I happily watched from inside-there is a reason I moved away from the north :)

Look at the size of the flakes!

The next morning, they bundled up and headed back outside. The snow is expected to be all gone by tomorrow, so despite the 20 degree weather, they wanted to enjoy it while they could.

We don't own a sled, so a cardboard box had to do!

Yes, there is a Jacob inside there!

Working on the snowman

Here he is!

They added an extra carrot to look like daddy going to work (a tie)!

Then it was time to destroy it.

The kids had a blast and I am just greatfull the snow is only sticking around for a day. I am so over winter right now!
