Snow!

Wow, we really had a snowy weekend! 
The snow started to fall on Friday morning, and it snowed all weekend.  Finally stopping and clearing out for good on Sunday.
The kids came home from school and played in the snow all Friday afternoon.  They went sledding, had snowball fights, snow angels; but mostly they worked on building snow forts. 
This project kept them busy for hours. 

After playing all day Friday I would think they would want a break, but they were all outside again at 8:00 AM Saturday morning!  Again they worked on their snowforts with their friends/neighbors.  It was a fun way to spend a snowy Saturday.  They all took a break to come inside around 11:30 and warm up with hot cocoa and a yummy brunch at our neighbor's house.  Then they started out again and played until late in the afternoon!

Taylor and his friends really have a good plan for building strong snowforts.  The only problem is the snow kept falling, so it would cover up their fort.

Lizzie didn't last so long in the snow.  She liked it, and had fun playing in it.  But she doesn't like to wear her gloves and her hands get freezing. She looked so cute walking around clumsily in the snow with her little boots and snowsuit on.  She even tried sledding and really had fun!

We measured the snow in our front yard and it was up to 17 inches high!  Perfect for building a huge snowman( not pictured). 

Between shoveling the sidewalks, making hot cocoa, and putting on all the snowpants, coats, hats, boots and gloves multiple times a day we had a busy weekend!

Isaac talked about the letter "P" last week at preschool. They made apple pies one day at school.  He was so proud of his little pie, and was nice to share some with his siblings. 
He is still trying to take multiple vitamins a day so he can grow up faster.  He really wants to be 16 so he can date his dream girl, Jesse. It's super cute when he talks about her, he gets all smily and happy! His first crush is on a girl ten years older then him! Ha Ha

I have to brag about my wonderfully talented husband. 
We needed a little end table in our family room, and Danny had just learned how to weld.  So he made this table and the lamp!  His welder is getting lots of use, and we are coming up with other projects for the future.
Thanks, Danny!!
