But before the snow was gone, my children were anxious to get outside and eat it/throw it/build with it/stomp on it/watch it fall. You would think that they've never seen snow before. But of course they have.
In the front yard, the neighborhood kids gathered and had a snowball fight. At one point I had at least a dozen kids in my yard building snowmen and snow forts. It was great!
They built a snowman that was taller than Sarah! (Which actually isn't saying much since my poor girls are the size of 2-year olds.)
We went on a little hike in the woods and the girls made snow angels while Matthew and Joshua hurled rocks into the creek.
Then we came home and I baked fresh sugar cookies and made hot chocolate on the stove.
And all of that before Jason even came home from work!
I am finally able to post pictures again! Jason had to do a lot of work to get the computer situation under control. I still don't have the files that were on my hard drive, but we're going to find a place to recover them. Fortunately most of my photos were already saved on an external drive, but I hadn't backed up my computer since before Jason deployed. Oops. Lesson learned!
I have a super exciting giveaway coming up on Friday so stay tuned! In the meantime, check out my other giveaways by clicking the link at the top of this page.
