Once There Was A Snowman

A couple weeks ago (while the weather was still warm) the boys and I went outside and cleaned up all the weeds and dead flowers from our front yard, in preparation for snow. Ever since then, the boys wake up almost every morning shouting, "Let's go sledding today!" Except that there's not really any snow.
This past Monday we got a storm that dropped about 2 inches of snow in a fairly short time. Then the storm passed and left us with cold, cold (but sunny) weather. Drew and Owen were ecstatic to see the snow! They wanted to go outside that second and play. David took them out when he got home from work and showed them how to build a snowman. They had a blast.
I couldn't get any pictures of Owen with the snowman. He came inside before Drew and refused to go back out for the photo. He was pretty frozen because he actually helped with the snowman-making. Drew didn't help, but he was really proud of the results.

I am so glad that there is snow in Idaho. I hope that Evie can come over and play in it with your kids. Looks like fun
