Snow!

   

Last week we began getting a decent amount of snow around here. Normally, even with a large amount of snow, things melt pretty quickly, but with cold temperatures the snow has stuck around.

With a good 6 or so inches the chidlren were begging to get outside to play in it. We were able to find decent snow gear for all 8 children here! Thanks to gifts and hand-me-downs we could open our own little shop. :)

With today being the warmest day forecasted for the week we decided to get out and do a little sledding before it got too cold outside.

The sun makes it look a lot warmer than it really is out there, so didn't last as long as these guys.

Did you know an old crib mattress works just as well as a sled. With its vinyl covering it's not only waterproof, but also soft and comfy.

He isn't cold, but when I look at him, I'm cold. Brr!

These two just about ran right into me without a care in the world.

I ran home earlier than everyone else to get some warm goodies ready. Okay, maybe I waited until they actually got home. You can't drink hot chocolate cold, right?

They all insisted on using a spoon.

The hot chocolate was a little hot for David. He ended up added a few uce cubes. Hmm. . .
