Snow Forts


snow creature, with mustache and lots of arms.







our tunnel!!



Dave worked really hard to clear the sidewalks and clean off our cars. This snow was really heavy and thick. Luckilly our road got plowed early and it seems like we could get out of our neighborhood if we wanted to. We have discovered that Ben hates his snowsuit. We just have to layer him up in lots of layers of pants, none that are waterproof. He won't put his snowsuit on. Earlier in the year I tried buying Siena a snowsuit and just couldn't find one so we gave up thinking we don't really need one. So she is wearing her 2T one. It is crazy short on her but it works. Next year we will gear up with waterproof gloves and snow suits. The kids have loved this snow storm. They have also loved the hot chocolate afterwards. So Dave worked hard on the sidewalks and cars and then made the kids a tunnel through the snow. They love the tunnel. We also made a little snowcreature and snowman. With so much snow I don't think it's going anywhere anytime soon. So fun as long as I don't have to drive in it.

I'm so glad Dave finally got his snow storm! Looks like you're enjoying it! I love the snow creature. We once made a 4-part snowman (instead of 3) and literally the "snowman police" came by and took down a section and left a note telling us not to mock snowmen. Only in Provo...enjoy your multi-armed snow creature!

that looks so fun! it would be nice to get a bunch a snow every now and then, but i don't think i could live in it all the time. we were just excited when we got a sprinkling of snow that was gone by noon. it's fun to see how kids get so excited over the little things.
