SNOW much fun

When we returned home from our weekend away at the start of spring break it was to about a foot of snow!! I still can't believe that we had that much snow this late in March. Wow! By Monday, it was warm enough that the snow was starting to melt, but that also meant that it was not miserable cold when playing outside.


As soon as we got home, we immediately put on our snow clothes and headed out the door for some fun! The snow was nice and wet which made for some great snowballs and snowmen. Harrison didn't like getting wet, so Matt made him some makeshift boots with the newspaper wrappers from the weekend. Ha! It worked and he stayed outside with the rest of us. :)

Madeleine and I made a snowman. She was a big help and had fun decorating it when we were finished. Unfortunately, it was warm enough that he melted by the end of the day. Boo.

Matt went to work trying to build a snow fort for the kids.

After awhile, Harrison figured out how to make some MAJOR snowballs.....his mission became to hit Matt as many times as possible with them! Ha! He would come at Matt and yell "Daddy. Be still so I can get you." Then he'd launch his snowball at him! The snow was actually wet enough that Matt could catch the snowball and relaunch it. Look out Harrison. :)

After a couple of hours, Matt and I got tired -- but the kids were determined to make the most of this last snow day! They stayed and played outside for at least another hour. They were soaked by the time they came in since the snow was quickly turning to water. :)

Hopefully, this was the last snow of the season. It was the perfect way to end the winter with a fun snow!
