Snowy Saturday

This morning we woke up to several inches of snow!  Taylor's soccer game was canceled and all our plans for the day were gone.  The kids were so excited to see snow, and all wanted to go outside to play. We decided to stay at home and enjoy the first snowfall of the winter.  

We made a big breakfast and then the kids loaded on their snow clothes and went outside to play in the snow.  By 10:30 AM everyone was back inside for hot chocolate with toast, and then they all went back for more snow. 

Taylor and his friends decided to build a snowfort, and this became the project for the entire day.  They gathered shovels, tools and sled to move the snow. The boys worked on the fort all afternoon, and evening until it was dark.  Talyor ate lunch and most of his dinner outside on the patio in the freezing cold snow, and never once came inside! I kept asking if they were cold and wanted to come in the house but no one did. 

 They had tons of fun, and it was a great day.

Here are some pictures of our snowy Saturday.



Lizzie stayed inside and watched from the window.
Isaac took his snow clothes on/off six times throughout the day, he really needs to learn how to put them on by himself.
Emily played with this cute friend for 7 hours.  
Taylor was outside working on his snow for for over 8 hours!!!
We dragged him inside after dinner when it was completely dark.  He was thrilled with what he made, and wants it to snow more tonight. 
Our backyard is completely empty of snow, it's all been moved to the fort.



Here are some cute pics of Elizabeth from bathtime and dinner time this week.  I love how her hair is really starting to grow, it's soft and really blonde.  She loves her food, and gets so angry if she can't eat when everyone else is eating a meal. 

I guess winter has arrived.
