We've had some great snow days and lots of fun building our favorite snow people. They last for a day and then we have warm weather again and they are gone. There wasn't a lot of snow this day, but Ben managed to build a pretty good looking guardian for our building. It was Brecon who came running in the house looking for carrots and "raisins" for the face of our snow man. I just so happened to have some limp celery and it really made some fantastic hair for our guy.
I wanted to have a family shot, but Connor refused to leave the swing. I feel like this was still okay. Brielle really jumped right in the front and leaned right in there. she is getting so big and fun these days.
Ben took Cael, Brecon, and Luciano (Cael's friend) to our double-chair lift ski hill just outside the gate. Cael says "We didn't feel cold. It was just fun. I went down the big hill twice and the little hill so many times I can't even remember." Ben had initially thought they were going to stay until the chair lift shut down, but they started to get really hungry and the sun was going down. It was really cold when they left and I had a hot dinner waiting for them at home, plus plenty of hot chocolate to warm them right up.
Our friends built a monster snowman the same day we built ours. After a few days he started doing the snowman limbo, leaning even further than he is right there. Eventually he came crashing down in a couple of huge piles.
School got cancelled because of this particular snow storm. With all the snow days and 1/2 days due to the weather, I'm wondering if we are going to have a summer break at all! We are enjoying the time together, but I do wonder if they are being a little too nervous about a little snow. Cael says they are not allowed to touch the snow on the playground because the principal last year made a rule against the kids having any fun at all! No running, laughing, breathing, or touching (playing tag) on the playground. Sounds like a good recess to me-- not!
