Snowman

After the big Sunday snowfall a couple of weeks ago, the kids were excited to go outside and play. We were lazy and didn’t want to get them all dressed up after church, so we told them that we would take them sledding right after school on Monday. There was just one flaw in that plan. I completely forgot that I had scouts after school on Monday. So, instead of a family sledding party at the park, Nate let the kids invite Korbin and Maddie over for some snow play in the back yard. Unfortunately, overnight the snow turned from perfect snowball/snowman making snow into pain-in-the-bootie snow, so they had a hard time getting the snowman to stick together. Nate worked his magic to get the guy built and let the kids add the finishing touches. After they had finished the snowman, they built some mini-forts and had a snowball fight. I got home just in time to take a couple of pictures and make some hot chocolate for everyone.

I can see why Korb and Mads never want to come home from your house. You guys always have fun activities going on! :)

What a cute snowman. It looks like you didn't need a snowman kit after all.
