Fun in the Snow!

Saturday morning we got up and headed to get a few groceries, and when we got back, the kids wanted to play outside in the snow. There's not a ton of snow, but there are a few inches on the ground here (at least for now - I think it's supposed to be a high of 38 degrees on Wednesday and then it will all melt quickly and just be ugly).

The kids riding their bikes!


We ran inside, put on some snowpants and gloves, and hit the driveway/sidewalk. I scooped the driveway and then a path as well as I could down the sidewalk, and so we had to get out the bikes. What kid DOESN'T ride their bike in the middle of winter; right?!?! They also had fun making a couple snow angels and then we put together a quick snowman. The snow is pretty powder-y and didn't work all that well, but we got one to work well enough to satisfy Meggan! :)

Meggan's attempt at a snowman (don't ask me). She was trying to roll a little snow clump all the way across the yard and it never got any bigger. Poor thing!

Our finished product! She was pretty proud!

Jordan's snowman that he wanted me to make so he could hit it, which he was using this blade (I gave it to him as a "shovel") in order to knock it down!

Sunday was church and then we had some lunch (well, some of us had breakfast) at Bob Evans. Mom volunteered to take Meggan to her house to help/play with the kitties so that I could nap while Jordan did, so I took her up on that one! A 2-hour nap was wonderful, and then we headed down to Mom's to let Jordan play with the kitties for a while and have some supper quick before getting back home to get to bed for another school/work week.

All in all, a nice weekend! Hope everyone else had a good weekend too!
