Unfortunately, Alex and I are both guilty of letting our busy lives get in the way of not having more "family time" just having fun together. The last few days of being "snowed in" has given us TONS of time to play together and we've all really enjoyed it. Today was no different. We got out of the house for a bit this morning and then came back to play in the snow.
First, we thought we'd TRY to do some sledding. Alex realized quickly it wasn't going to happen, so he pulled the kids to the end of our road and back instead. As you can see, Ashton wanted to push Maddie on it and then decided he was so STRONG he could pull it all the way back up the hill all by himself. :)
Once we got back up the hill, we decided we'd try a snowman. Yesterday the snow was just too packed down and almost ice to really do anything. With a little bit of melting, we had a chance. Alex and I did most of the work, bu the kids tried to help. They loved it!! Grammy (Alex's mom) gave them a "snowman kit" about a month ago and I put it up in the closet thinking that we'd probably never get to use it. Well, I was wrong and Ashton and Maddie couldn't wait for me to get it out. They really enjoyed "dressing" the snowman once Alex and I got done putting him together.
As you can tell, Ashton and Maddie opted out of the traditional black top hat that came in the kit and instead had Dad do a mowhawk. I'll have to admit... you probably won't see too many snowmen with mowhawks.
We finished off the day with another snowball fight boys against girls and then had pictures in the igloo. It has been a great few days and I'm kind of sad to see it starting to melt! :(
