We had a snow day today! It was a thoroughly enjoyable day. The kids didn't have school because we got about 8 inches of snow. I know, it isn't that much snow, but they were worried about getting a lot more today (which didn't happen). Mark was on call last night so he got off around four o'clock this afternoon, which made our snow day even better. He was exhausted but wanted to play in the snow with the kids before dinner. I dragged out a stroller so Luke could be part of the fun while I took a few pictures.
Mark's ski clothes are still in Utah, so he wore his rain coat.
All of the boys followed their dad and dove into the snow.
Sledding down our round drive in front of our house is becoming a favorite wintertime activity.
Yes, we sled directly into the street........because we are crazy like that.
Our street isn't at all busy, so as long as I am out in the street standing guard, we are golden.
Benjamin went sledding a few times but got cold and tired and wanted to sit in the stroller with Luke. There must be something familiar and comforting about sitting in the stroller.

It sure made Benjamin happy, but the added weight made it impossible for me to push the stroller through the snow at all (although it was fairly impossible before he got in).
Grant did throw this snow ball at me.
Grant thought it was hilarious to threaten all of us with gigantic snow balls. He threw them at every one of us, except for Peyton. It was simply more fun to threaten her....keep her guessing.
Carston buried his dad in the snow after the rest of the kids and I had scrambled into the house to take off wet snow clothes and seek warmth from a cup of hot chocolate.
I came back out to take a picture of Carston buried in the snow.
It was very important to Carston that I get this pictures of him breaking out of the snow as a snow monster. I think he is pretty convincing with that face full of snow. Carston can brave the cold longer than the other kids because he simply loves the snow. He takes after his dad.

You brave the snow a lot better than I do. We got around 25 inches then another 12 or so a few days later. I won't go out in it at all. You guys sure make it look fun though.

They all look so cute playing in the snow...well, all the kids anyway! We bought Tuscanee a snow outfit and haven't had a snow storm since. I can't say that I'm disappointed though...I hate snow.
Tell Carston that I think that picture of him is AWESOME! Also, I'm very happy that someone takes after Mark's snow love. I was telling someone the other day about Mark sleeping every year in the snow fort that he would build in the back yard and about how he would wear shorts all winter long.
