Fun In The Snow

Back in the beginning of January, we got a ton of snow within the period of a week. Granted, it was nothing like the storm we had last week (we got a foot of snow in one day, and today we've already added another 4 inches), but it was a lot of snow. Enough snow that I took the girls out to play in the snow twice that week. They had so much fun!!

Georgia kept falling over in the snow, but didn't have a hard time getting herself back up again. She figured out how to eat the snow though, and I had to keep a close eye on her after that, because all she wanted to do was eat the snow and there were some bad spots that I didn't want her getting snow from. She had so much fun exploring in the snow.





Grace had fun in the snow too. She walked around everywhere, helped shovel, and helped Gwen and I make a snow man. She was one of the first to get cold, but had lots of fun while we were out there.

Gwen loves playing in the snow, and is constantly asking if we can go out and play in the snow again (which we have). She helped shovel as well, along with helping me make a snow man and exploring in the snow and eating the snow.

Gwen and Grace made a bunch of snow angels while we were out playing. It was one of their favorite things to do.

Georgia even tried making snow angels, and even though she knew how to move her arms and legs from watching her sisters do it, she had a hard time getting back up. She only made snow angels once or twice before the getting back up part became too much and she gave up and just started eating snow instead.

This is our snowman. This is what I was busy doing the majority of the time we were outside. He's a little on the small side because the snow wasn't sticking together as well as it needed to for a good sized snowman, and although the girls tried to help, they got bored halfway through and just wanted me to finish it. The girls did find the sticks for the arms (and we used little pieces of the sticks for the eyes since it was really hard to find any rocks with all that snow). We got a carrot from inside for the nose, used another piece of stick for the mouth, and used oreo cookies for the buttons. It turned out pretty cute and the girls had so much fun outside.
