What do you do when it just keeps snowing?! Seriously!
We can't drive anywhere, there is ice and there are people. We have been sick so hanging out with others isn't a good idea...that's when it hit us!

Time to go play in the snow!
We started out with a snowman. All of us helped with at least one snow ball. The torso was mine, notice its bigger than the bottom ball...Ryan
Then there was the predicament of arms and legs. Ryan came up with the first idea...
Paxton imitating his Dad. If you look close you can see his little arms sticking out from behind frosty.
It snowed the entire few hours that we were outside. Huge flakes all day long. It was a little crazy. I don't remember the last time it has snowed like this. Its been like this for a few days!
My boys!
We ended up finishing frosty pretty quickly so I thought that maybe we should make a snow fort. In my mind we would make some little fort that the boys could help out with. I ran inside and grabbed some bowls for the boys to fill with snow and lay out like they would a sand castle
the boys got into it pretty quickly
Ryan had another idea. In fact he was immediately picking a spot in the backyard where he would be protected from any snow fire from Frosty. He had the snow shovel and was piling and packing the snow. We decided that if we were going to have a cool snow fort, we better quit with the little bowls and join him. This is Gauge adding a leaf he found.
Paxton used the shovel and gathered all of the snow he could
Ryan worked fast! We all had to be fast to keep up with him. Gauge tuckered out early and so did the one whose great with child
By the time Ry was finished we had a snow fort taller than Paxton. He cut it down a bit so that Paxton could throw snowballs over the top
That snowman doesn't have a chance!
After we were outside for a few hours we came inside and turned on the fireplace. Then we all made hot chocolate. We made warm chocolate for Paxton...he's not a big fan of Hot
It was such a great day. I wish we had more days like it. Only two more days until Christmas!

Ryan is the king of snow forts! Oh how fun to have a white Christmas!!
The rest of us are just dreaming about one. Cute, cute snowman but the frosty boy at the end with the rosy red cheeks is my favorite. Gotta say the pun: "great mug shot!"
What a winter wonderland. Yes Katherine is right, we do wish we could have a white Christmas. Way to take advantage and seize the moment.
I love your frosty....he even has a cowboy hat. I guess that it takes kids to get out into the snow, all we do is shovel it. Next year when you guys are here, we will bust out the 4 wheeler and take the kids and ADULTS sledding!!
