We finally got some measurable snow and it was AWESOME. The boys and yes I were very excited. The best part is it was perfect sledding, snowman making and snowball fights. I also got to take the pups on two snowy walks through the woods, really one of my favorite activities.
Right after the boys finished their breakfast they wanted outside. We had a blast minus it was really crunchy on the top, but we built two small snowmen, went on nature walks in the back, and yes the boys ate a lot of snow. Owen loves it and could stay all day but Aiden gets cold, bored, not sure and walks back inside. Good to have both parents at home so we can split.
Then once Owen was ready to come inside some very fun and interesting games took place and one really sweet moment. The boys were becoming a bit pesky so I told them to go upstairs. They ended up in Owen's room. All I know as they read, played, took a pretend nap together, and best of all had fun.
Then after rest time we all went to our sledding hill. It is perfect for the kids, just a couple houses up and great size hill. Not tiny but not huge. Pretty fast and lands in the woods. The first run the boys wanted to go together. I can't put into words how cute they were. They took turns being first. When Aiden was in the back he would hold onto Owen's coat and when in front just bumped all around. Hilarious! Then the boys wanted us to come. Yippee! We love to sled too. So we all piled on and went. Aiden also surprised us by climbing up the hill every time. When we tried to speed it up and pick him up, "Down please!!!" he would say. He is so independent. The boys had an awesome time and so did we. Then back home to build Frosty. Owen tried to help and was great at decorating him. We put birdseed and pine cones on him because of a book the librarian read a week ago. Aiden got cold and wanted inside, so I took him in while Omer and Owen finished. Aiden enjoyed playing in the warmth and watching Frosty be built. We had a wonderful snow day!
