Snow Days

A week ago freezing temperatures hit us and decided to hang out for a while. It decided it was lonely, so it brought in some friends--snow and sleet. The kids didn't mind this one bit, seeing as school was canceled for three days in a row. When they asked to go and play outside, I thought they meant to go and build snowmen, make snow angels, and perhaps have a great snowball fight. When I peeked at them in our backyard, this is what I found....


Hey Ja and Joycelyn, does this ring a bell with you guys? Only using those medical buckets that Dad brought home from the hospital? The ones he also used to change the oil? It's what I was immediately reminded of: improvised sleds. :)






He doesn't look it here, but Marcus really did enjoy being outside. In fact, we had to drag his screaming/protesting little body in when everyone was frozen.
