Winter Wonderland

The girls and I have spent most of the last three days out side. A few hours out, a few hours in, waiting for our snow clothes to dry by the wood stove. We either recharge with hot chocolate, lunch, or a quick nap on the comfy couch in front of the fire.


We have had a great time building our menagerie of make believe snow creatures. We attempted to make a snow fort and a snowball wall but both of those took a tragic tumble....all in good snow ball fighting fun. It's funny my girls always seem to aim for my face and they have pretty good aim. I had to add 'no face' rule to snowball fights. We made these in preparation of Daddy arriving home from work. I wasn't sure whether to save them for the dog that keeps 'fouling' in our yard or for him. We chose to use them on Daddy, he caught most of the ones we threw his way and got us right back. Of course at the time of his arrival we were eating dinner dressed to the nines in our princess costumes and ballet slippers. So the scene in our driveway was rather hilarious, of course I was knee deep in the fun and did not take any pictures to document the princess snowball fight.

This is Reagan's Eunice the Unicorn, (there are 5 more of these in the front yard!)




Aubrey and Edie teamed up for a high ride on their creation.



After building all these creatures, stacking wood, and sledding I usually spend the last half hour sitting here, watching the yahoo's play and exhaust themselves. We had a great weekend full of fun.
