Today was an interesting day weather wise for Iowa. We woke up to a few inches of snow and then it rained and misted most of the day. Although the weather was kind of icky, the temperature was amazing... above 32 degrees. When we got home from school today we bundled the kids up and headed outdoors. Isaiah is such "a boy" and wanted to shovel the deck off while Ava began to make a "snowpup." One of her stories Snowman at Night has this character in it. I really wish I could figure out the picture thing; you'd love to see how it turned out. (I'm still having difficulty loading pictures onto the computer from my camera.) It was made out of two snowballs, had ears, eyes, a nose, and a little mouth. We put paws for the feet and hands and the used one of Jackson's raccoon tails (pretend of course) as the puppy's tail. It looks pretty cute. Ava was very proud of it.
After about 30 minutes of playing in the backyard, we took the kids on a sled ride. We went back to our local park and the kids had a blast going down the slides. Isaiah went so fast down the curly slide that he flew off and landed in a pile of snow at the bottom. It was so funny to watch. The whole time it had been misting, but we were all having so much fun that no one seemed to notice it. Once we got home, Ava and Isaiah had a little snowball fight and then we headed in for dinner. Nothing like 1 1/2 hours of outdoor fun to tire you out. After dinner the kid enjoyed some cocoa and marshmallows. Isaiah insists that it's "cocoa" not hot chocolate. What a fun day!
My Three Happy's
1) Warm temperatures (well they seem warm to us) so we can go out and play.
2) Disney anthologies (Collections of Disney stories that the kids have us read to them every night. Isaiah wanted me to read three and Ava bargained with Andy and is listening to four.)
3) Family time (Although we have busy schedules throughout the week, the time we spend together each night is priceless!)
