We finally got some snow.
& not the kind that's disappointing that won't stay together & make a snowball, snowman, snow fort, or anything else.
The boys came home from school & peeled off most of their clothing, then dug out the iPad & DS while the rest of the neighborhood converged on the lawn across the street. I could see from the kitchen window that all of the aforementioned snow-structures were being constructed so I told the boys to put the electronics away & get outside. Thankfully I had gone to the mall earlier that afternoon & found Ethan & Kamden some snow pants on clearance for just $13! I still need to find some snowboots for Ethan but it seems like everyone is sold out of his size. I guess with all of the snow from the last 2 days everyone has been in need of boys' size 2 boots. But we made do with his Nikes & his feet managed to stay dry.
Here's the awesome snowman in front of the neighbor's house with tumbleweed arms & hair:
Ethan takes a break from the snowball fight to get a snack before hurling it across the lawn toward the girls.
Here are some of the boys on our street.
They're not a rowdy bunch at all :)
There was a short snowball fight with Boys Vs Girls which ended for us when Kamden came home crying because Ethan had thrown a snowball right in his face. Ethan said Kamden threw one first but Kamden says it was only at his back & Ethan threw it right in his face.
So we called it a night & had dinner, after peeling off layers & layers of clothing & placing them by the fire to dry.
Here's our cute neighbor Lindsey helping Owen make a snow angel.
When Ethan & Kamden were getting ready to go outside they asked Owen if he was going & he said,
"NO! I only like to LOOK at the snow!"
He is my kind of man.
But eventually we convinced him after he saw how much fun the kids were having out there.
