Winter has arrived - playing in snow

We had a our second snowfall here in Ames on Thursday night. So I took the kids out to play in the snow on Friday morning. As it turns out, beach toys are great for the snow too. Check out this snow castle that Avie and I built.

Of course, Avie was more into smashing it that building it.



Archie really wanted to go outside and was happy to be in the fresh air, but he hated his boots and did not want to be set down. So I carried him around for a while. We went to the back deck and started to build snow mountains (or more accurately snow hills) because we couldn't get the snow to stick for snow balls, which is what Avie want to make. I finally talked Archer into getting down when I asked him to knock down the snow mountain.

He stomped down a few mountains and then sat (or fell) onto his bottom. His mittens had fallen off by now and he wouldn't put then back on. At this point, he was done with the snow and wanted to go back inside.
