Snow!!!


We finally have snow! When we woke up this morning it was snowing and by the time Britton had to go to the bus we had a couple inches. In total we probably got about 5 inches. Of course, by the afternoon it was raining, so we went ahead and played in the rain while we still had some snow. Benjamin and I made a snowman. I had bought a snowman kit in October. I was starting to wonder if I would get to use it this year. Benjamin loved it. I liked how easy it was to put all the face parts on the snowman. Benjamin really liked the bow tie.

Benjamin also made a snow angel, then crawled around licking snow. It was fun to play with Benjamin in the snow. I think this was the first time we made a snowman without Britton. Britton was at school. When Britton got home from school he was dissapointed that we had already shoveled the walks. Since ours were done, he started on the neighbors walk. The neighbor came out and gave him $5.00 for his work. He was so excited! Britton's actually really good at shoveling snow. He likes to help too.

After shoveling, Britton still wanted to play in the snow so he headed to the back yard. After about a half an hour, he came in freezing and requesting hot chocolate. He also told us that he had built a snowman. It was super cute too. He built it on the trampoline. I wish I could have gotten a picture with him and his snow man, but Britton was already inside, had taken off his wet pants, and was drinking his hot chocolate. There was no way he was going to pose for a picture.
