It's a Snow Day!

We finally got a decent snow storm and school was cancelled for Abe. I love this picture that Abe took of our backyard. We can almost pretend we are really in the mountains. Last year Ethan was not a fan of the snow (ie see last year's post of Ethan being drug around on a sled in Utah while lying down). Even this year he didn't express much interest in the snow other to complain about it being slippery and to whine when it touched his bare skin. But yesterday he had a change of heart. We got him bundled up yesterday afternoon while it was still snowing and he had such a good time. He was so upset when he had to come inside.

It turns out that eating the snow is Ethan's favorite thing to do. I'm sure Abe taught him that. I did just catch him also eating icicles from the car. How disgusting is that!

And of course, red-neck sledding at its finest was back this year. Ever time it snows we say we will get a sled and we don't. Maybe this year? But until then the snow shovel will just have to do.

Abe and Ethan made a great snowman but unfortunately I didn't get a picture of it yesterday and during the night it blew over and just wasn't the same after that.

I think that Abe had to try and redeem himself after I made fun of the snowman with the little head. So here is the new and improved version. I still don't think that it was as good as the first.I hope child services doesn't get a look at these next pictures. It's one thing to make a 2-year old shovel the front porch.

But really Abe, the whole driveway seems a little much. He just loved helping his dad!

And this is how Taylor and I spent the snow day. Okay so maybe just Taylor got to sleep all day. I had to supervise the snow day activities from through the window. I just love how Taylor works so hard to break her little arms out of the blanket.
