Winter Fun





Well it was 60 degrees on Tuesday and Thursday night it started sleeting. Sometime in the middle of the night it started to snow. I got a phone call from the boys' school at 7am stating there was no school. I still needed to get to work so I took the boys to the sitter's. I got stuck in the snow twice before getting to work. The commute which takes me typically 10-15 minutes took me 40 minutes! I was at work for about 4 hours. When I got to the sitter's to pick up the boys she said they lasted in the snow for 9 minutes. It was very cold and windy. Upon getting home Dave was shoveling the driveway. It took him 2.5 hours.

Saturday was much nicer and the boys played in the snow for about an hour. They made snow angels, threw snowballs and climbed mountains of snow that everyone created to shovel out their driveways. We came back inside for yummy hot chocolate.

Sunday we went to my brother and sister in law's house to borrow their hill. It is the perfect size for almost six year olds. They had a great time going down the hill on their sleds for almost a half hour. It was pretty cold again so I knew they wouldn't last too long. They were much braver this year with going down on their tummies and even on their knees. After they were done sledding it was time for more hot chocolate.

Needless to say it was the perfect weekend for little boys! Enjoy the pictures!

I sure wish we would get some snow, but that's unlikely since we are in Georgia!
