Winter Wonderland

Sometimes I wonder when and if winter will ever end. This year winter has just been so long and cold. After our really bitter cold weekend and 6 inch snowfall, things finally started warming up. Monday was nice, Tuesday was beautiful. Tuesday evening we have no lessons, classes or practices. No scouts and typically no Church related activities. After we ate dinner, we rushed across the street to the school park to build some snowmen. We were racing the light but it was quite pleasant and we had fun. The snow was a little hard to get started but once you got it going, it picked up size FAST. Timothy and I had to team lift the bodies up and even that was a challenge. We had a great time and made it home before it got really dark, contrary to the pictures.

Eli made the head for the second snowman there. He is sitting on the head that we originally made, but he was so excited about his ‘little head’, we just had to leave it.

Emma wanted to roll this snowball all the way to the school to show her friends. We got it half way there before it was too heavy to move. (Well, too heavy for the two of us, Daddy probably could’ve done it.)

Unfortunately, when we walked to school this morning, our snowmen had been destroyed. It’s a cruel, cruel world out there!
