Snow Day

Friday and Saturday we had blizzard conditions here in Wichita, KS. Friday we got about 3 inches of sleet and ice and yesterday we got about 3 inches of snow, maybe more. The girls were super excited. Each time it's snowed it's been to dry to build a snow man. So the we got the girls bundled up and took them outside. Sam came over with Gabe and Sam and I took all three kids down the street to where there are some dirt hills. Eden and Gabe had a blast sliding down on the sleds. Then Sam...wonderful Sam...She convinced me to sled too. So I sat my butt down, pulled my legs up criss cross applesauce, she pushed me and before I knew it I was sliding down the hill laughing hard! Then she told me to lay on my belly on the sled, so we both lay down on our sleds, and then! Gabe climbs on Sam's back and lays down, Eden climbs on mine and away we went! Oh but my legs and butt were cold cold cold after! We walked home and drank hot chocolate. Later on in the afternoon after naps David came over for a couple of hours. We got everyone bundled up again and Zach took them all outside to build their very first snowman!!!! He was a few inches shorter than the kids, Eden got a carrot for the nose, her Hannah Montana hat for it's head. But...The snowman didn't last through the night. Zach and I got into a snow fight and the girls, running around in their nightgowns and snow boots, knocked him over. Zach walked over to fix him, to which I took the the liberty and opportunity while he was bent over to put a handful of snow down the back of his pants. Poor Zach was so caught off guard that instead of setting the snowman down, he threw it over his shoulder, right onto my back and head!! I wasn't hurt, but it had us laughing for a long time afterwards. I'll be posting pictures later on this week.
