Snow Much Fun

We definitely did NOT get a white Christmas this year.  We did get to travel to the Dells and to Iowa in December--but that was the only snow we saw.  We were beginning to wonder if we were ever going to get snow... and finally by the end of January we got our first snow (kind of!)  It wasn't much to play in but our kids were excited.  We finally got some more at the end of February and beginning of March.  Sadie had her only snow day on March 5th.  Although they didn't get a lot of snow time this year, they enjoyed all the times they did get to play in the snow!

 

 

January 25th:  They were so excited to wake up and see snow (although it didn't even cover all the grass)... These pics were before school--they were out shoveling as soon as they woke up...

 

Kinnick and Sadie went out again after school.  They rang the door bell and told me they would build me a snowman for 5 cents.  (They later said they would only charge me 2 cents because it was such a little snowman!)

 February 22nd:  Our first "Big" snow--Sadie still had school.  We had some friends over and they had fun playing in the bake yard while we made cookies.

 

 

 

February 23rd--Sledding:  Aunt NeeNee was here visiting for the weekend but she and Sadie opted not to sled (they went on a shopping/lunch date instead).  Marc and I had fun taking Kinnick and Macey.  We went to park in Shorewood called "4 Seasons" Park.  It has HUGE hills perfect for sledding.  I couldn't believe how many other people were there--over 50 I'm sure.  Luckily there are several hills so we still had space to sled.  This was Macey's first time sledding (we didn't get to go last year).   We started them the first time in the middle of the hill because I was nervous but they were quickly racing me to the top--they both loved it!

 February 26th:  We made snowmen inside...

 

March 2nd:  My parents always seemed to have more snow then we did (I don't think they ever had a shortage of it!)  When we went for the girl's party we took snow clothes and they had a blast playing with their cousins.  Grandpa hooked up sleds to the 4-wheeler and took them for rides.  Not sure who had more fun--the kids or Marc!

March 6th:  We got our biggest snow of the year on March 5th.  Sadie had a snow day (which she was SO excited for).  The kids didn't end up going out, but the next day after school we played outside for a couple hours...

Macey helped me Build our 1 and Only Snowman for this Winter

 

 

Kinnick had fun building a Snow Fort with our Neighbor Across the Street
