We had a great day last Saturday (yep, a week ago). The temperatures had increased a bit, and the sun was actually shining! Ellie wanted to go out to play in the snow, and I forced Madison to go out. I had been on a walk already and needed to clean the floors. So, the girls bundled up and headed out into the winter wonderland.
They worked very hard all by themselves out there. The snow was good for packing, if not a little temperamental. They stuck with it though.
And produced some pretty fantastic snowmen.
They asked if I would come out and help them make more snowmen. So, I put on some snowpants and ventured out. We built a tall tower together. Then,they noticed the neighbors were out two doors down – two girls of similar ages from church. Their dad ventured over his girls. I mentioned we were going to start building a fort if they wanted to help. Pretty soon we had three good sides.
Then, Jeremy appeared! We built another modified fort.
Then, we decided it was a perfect set-up for a adults vs kids snowball fight! (Scroll down to see a short video of the fight in the next blog post.)
Jeremiah (neighbor dad) defected to the kids side to help them with snowball formation … and to sling a few at Jeremy!
It was a lot of fun! By the end, our clothes were soaked through from the wet snow and our my shoulder was sore from throwing. We came in hung up the wet clothes and had some hot chocolate. Saturdays are good days when you play.
