Snowman!

The snow has started melting, which makes it more packable.
After listening to Riley & Lily cry and yell at Zach many, many times for throwing giant snowballs at them, I decided to have them do something more constructive with the snow.
So, they built a snowman.

Although I am very over the snow (and the cold), it never seems to get old for the kids. =)

Snow Day!

The kids didn't actually have a snow day yesterday when it was snowing.
We woke up to this yesterday morning:

And by the time the time the boys got home from school, we had about 5 inches of snow:

Lily waited all day long to play with the boys.

She was mad when she found out the boys were at school when she woke up.

(The boys were SURE they were getting a snow day when it started snowing on Sunday night.)

I asked if she wanted to go out with me and then go out again with the boys.

Apparently I am not as fun as "The Brothers".

She did not want to go out with me.

She was super excited when they finally got home though.

We got on our snow stuff & headed out.

The boys went to sleep last night without a thought of have having a snow day today.

The snow had stopped.

But with arctic air coming into Kansas, school was called off.

This morning at 8:00, it was 6 degrees with a wind chill of -10 degrees.

When Zach got up he was pleasantly surprisd that there was no school.

The only problem?

It is way too COLD to go outside and play in the snow!!

I told the kids it wasn't going anywhere.

They can play in it tomorrow or the next day. ;-)
