January 30, 2010 - part 1

We woke up this morning to falling snow..forecast originally of 3-7 inches, then upped to 12 inches. The snow was falling steady and fast...most of the day it was coming straight down. We ended up with 13 inches.

Of course the kids wanted to go out first thing but it was only 14 degrees out. So I decide to bring some snow in bowls into them. Caleb wanted to use his cubing Wall-E to make snow cubes and Abigail made some snowballs.










We did go out around noon but it was not much warmer. It was a light powdery snow and the kids and Molly had so much fun playing in it!







It was light enough you could blow it.




Caleb would stand up, hold his arms up straight, and fall forward in the snow.


right after this Caleb lost Wall-E's head/eyes. We'll have to wait until all the snow is gone to find it.


Molly loved this!


Abigail was trying to build snow castles ...


but Molly grabbed it and ran off with it.
