A Little Snow, A Lot of Fun!

We awoke this morning to a small amount of snow, but enough to cover and make everything appear white. The boys were really excited! They quickly made plans to go out and make a snowman and "make" a snow ball fight (in Micah's words). When I finally decided it was late enough to get ready and go out, 7 a.m. was a little too early for me, the boys set out to their room to dress themselves warmly. And Ty did just that. He came out in what I found out (as I was trying to undress him later in the garage) was an undershirt, 2 long sleeve shirts, a button up-and-down camoflouge long sleeve shirt and another long sleeve shirt on top of that. He also had on 2 pair of shorts, carhart overalls, and sweat pants. I put a coat on top of that because I didn't quite realize how many layers he was wearing, though I knew he was looking pretty thick.

We snapped a few quick pictures and then I sent the boys off to play. They quickly realized there wouldn't be many snowballs or a snowman and began wandering around the yard. Eventually they discovered that their trampoline had a nice layer of snow, and I think maybe ice, on it. And...the fun began! By the time they were finished jumping, slipping and sliding, and throwing snow at one another, they were pretty much both covered from head to toe. But, they had lots of fun in the process.

That is so cute that Ty put that many clothes on. We also found that the trampoline was the best part of the snowday!!

Looks like your kids had as much fun as mine did with our tiny snow fall.
