Sledding, movies, and bathtime fun

 There has been no lack of snow playing time around here lately.
Especially since Daddy went by and grabbed a sled from Grammie & Grandad's house yesterday before the snow storm.  We have some awesome hills in our backyard that are perfect for a little one's first sledding experience.

We headed outside when we first heard our neighbor clearing our driveway for us (so nice, I know.)  Don't worry, Brian gave him some beer :)
Then the kids spent a few hours outside sledding and building forts.  The snow was really wet and heavy and perfect for sledding and building.

Colin loved going down the hill with our neighbor Ethan.  
Ethan is 7 years old and Colin thinks he's pretty awesome.  



 Woo hoo!  Ethan loved the sledding, too!



 Colin went solo for a while, he just needed some help trekking back up the hill, the snow was so deep!



 King of the snow mountain, Colin!



 Brian is such a good dad.  He spent all afternoon out there with Colin, trudging around in the snow and making some awesome memories with Colin and the neighbors.
Maggie and I got all bundled up and she made it about 3 minutes before she said "I go inside".
So, I obliged.  We walked in the door and she said "that was fun!"
What a goof.  

Maggie and I watched some movies today while the boys were freezing outdoors.  
Her new favorite movie...
The Little Rascals
She especially loves Alfalfa and his spikey hair.

 The "real" Alfalfa and his funny hair.
She saw the cover of the movie and immediately made the same face herself.
So, we recreated the cover in the bathtub tonight...

 These two have so much fun in the bath tub right now.
It's super sweet to see and they will stay in there for hours if we let them.
They practice their bubbles, make lots of "hot cocoa" in the tub, and just splash around.

We probably won't have any more snow days for the year...
but they were fun while they lasted.

Now we just need this snow to melt off and give us some moisture in the ground!
