Snow!

 We were are all pretty excited when it started snowing Sunday morning! When we woke up we had a light dusting but within 30 minutes it was dumping snow and we ended up getting a few inches, so fun! 
 I've never seen Lauren get ready so fast, that girl was in a hurry to get outside and start playing! Love the concrete snow angel:) 
 Our hill before it got plowed. It looked so pretty.
 The neighbors all got together to shovel and spread ice melt, Lauren started crying that they were getting rid of all the snow! I assured her no one would touch the sidewalks or our yard.

 Ben got out Lauren's baby sled, guess it's time to get new sleds...should of thought of that before the snow...we headed out to find some sleds and the pickings were slim. After 3 stops we finally settled on a "snow board" for Lauren and a skimmer for Ben (because those were the only options we had!). 
 Both turned out to be pretty fun and we spent a couple hours playing out in the snow last night.
 Wee!
 Ben walked up our hill about 25 times, which is huge for him. He usually cries and refuses to walk up the hill after we take Lauren to the bus stop every morning. Funny how motivating some snow and a sled can be! 
 The "snow board". Kevin got in quite the work out pulling the kids all around on it. They had so much fun!
 Our boarder
 Taking a break from all that hard work;)
Ben gave it a shot too, he was pretty nervous though and prefers his sled. 

As I'm typing this it is starting to snow again...yay! They are calling for a trace to 7 inches- quite a range! Can't wait to see what we get!!

I never in a million years would have thought to put the kids in helmets. You need to start a safety committee. I will join. Looks like fun in the snow!
