We had a little snowball fight just in time for the wind to kick up, so we packed it in to go home. The littles practically fell asleep on the 5 minute car ride, they were so exhausted.

we sled
Last week we got two snow days for barely 3 inches of snow. But we knew how to take full advantage! We relaxed, I cleaned a bit, I caught up on some projects, and we watched some movies. But when our neighbors called to ask if we wanted to sled, we were more than happy to leave our snowed in (iced in) cocoon. We bundled up, threw our sleds in the back of our neighbor's truck, and off we went to find the best hill. Okay, it wasn't the BEST hill, but it was the best for a 2 year old and 4 year old.
Yes, we teased Brian about looking like cousin Eddie with his hat. I do every time he wears it.
Our neighbors, Neal and Cindy took turns taking the littles down the hill, too. Rowan had to warm up to sledding, she thought it looked a little too fast. So she sat back and watched for a while, and then decided to give it a go.
It was one of those days that was cold, but so sunny and bright it felt warm and we were shedding hats and gloves after walking up the hill a few times. We stayed out a lot longer than we intended because of the warmth.
We went back to our house, stoked the fire, and sat around chatting, playing, and drinking hot chocolate. It was a memory making day. I'm so grateful for good neighbors with good ideas.

Great snow day pictures! Nice to have those kind of neighbors... and hills to sled on. Hills are fun too. :-)
ReplyDeleteLooks like fun - I´d race you if I was there! :-D
ReplyDeleteThat sounds like so much fun. Especially the end where you stoked the fire and drank hot chocolate. ;) I'm lazy, what can I say? The kids look so cute. I laughed at the cousin Eddie thing. I wouldn't have thought of it, but now that you mention it... I also think the grass poking through the snow is funny. :)
ReplyDeleteI'm surprised you didn't melt the ice you hot little snow bunny, Ruthie! Those are some great pictures!! Love that family fun. I have gazillions of sledding memories and your littles will CHERISH this!!!
ReplyDeleteNice! I love that feeling of breaking a sweat in the snow and actually peeling off layers for a change. A good day of winter fun!
ReplyDeleteAwesome memories being made there. We might have to arrange to be home and have the kids one winter day to go down Devil's slide again. Those were the days.
ReplyDeleteLooks like a nice day, Ruthie! I should stop being such a winter stick in the snow and take Gus out sledding. Maybe.. Or maybe I'll just wait until next year. :) :) :)
ReplyDeleteOh how fun!! I remember many a snow day like that when the kids were little-- nothing beats a snow day!
ReplyDeleteThese are great photos! Y'all look so cute and I love all your red hair! I think high school was the last time I went sledding which was a very long time ago! Ha!
