The kiddies and I have had so much fun
playing in the snow this week.
Lily is old enough now to throw some really great snowballs
and to take some in return as well!
She spends her time outside
bombarding her mother with snowballs,
sucking snow of her mittens (which look a lot like socks -- weird! ;),
creating snow-track art and snowangels,
building snowmen,
climbing snow "mountains"
and using them as safe havens when her mother attacks back!
She is a tough girl out in the snow.
It took her two hours to realize that all that snow-sucking
had completely soaked her socks, er, mittens
and she was ready to head inside for hot cocoa.
Phinn also enjoys the snowbut only if he doesn't have to step in it
or touch it in general.
His "mittens" stayed dry and kept his hands warm
The. Whole. Time.
He had a great time walking up and down the plowed lane,
telling mommy to throw snowballs at Lily,
listening to Festus Jr practice his gobble,
watching Uncle Robert drive the tractor,
pointing out all the snow that he kept noticing everywhere,
and eating the raisins that we were trying to use for snowman eyes.
He was especially happy to go inside for hot cocoa,
but mostly because that meant...
MARSHMELLOWS!
And who doesn't love marshmellows?
