Cold Fun

We had at least an inch of ice on Monday afternoon and Tuesday and then got an additional 2 plus inches of snow on top of that. The boys and I went out today to play in the snow. We don't have a sled so I tried to teach Dylan how to use a slick cardboard box. He couldn't hold the front up so he kept falling off but he seemed to be having fun, anyway. Eli fell face first in the snow within the first 15 minutes outside and he didn't have any fun after that at all. He wanted to be carried everywhere. We eventually put him inside to watch us out the window while we played for a little longer. Dylan did great until his glove came off and his hand got cold and then he started being a little whiny. I figured out how to dust off the snow from his glove and warm up his hand and then put his glove back on and he continued to have a great time. We all had 3 or 4 layers of clothes which made Eli look even more funny. The snow wasn't the kind for packing and making snowmen or snowballs but it was fun to roll around in and to throw the powder. I felt like a kid, again.
