Sunday Snow Day!

Wow, who would of thought the weatherman would be right?!?!  Saturday, small snowflakes started to make an appearance in the sky and accumulate on the ground.  Nolan and Carter kept asking to build a snowman, but I informed them there was not enough snow on the ground.  Instead Nolan and Carter were satisfied with staying indoors and watching Frosty the Snowman on DVD.  Nolan asked if there would be enough snow on Sunday and I told him possibly.

We all awoke this morning to a light dusting of snow on the ground, but as the day continued so did the amount of snow which fell from the sky.  After I returned home from running errands, I told the boys to suit up and they could take their Jeep for a cruise in the snow!! Boy oh boy were they excited. Daddy was super excited to be outside as well!

After a few passes around the yard in the Jeep, Bill asked the boys if they wanted to make a snowman.  Of course, they jumped at the opportunity!!  Carter didn't experience too much snow play last year because he was still pretty little, but today he had a blast!!!  Nolan kept eating the snow instead of helping pack it.  I guess it's a good thing the neighbors put their fence up, because we don't have to worry about "yellow snow" from their dogs anymore.

We weren't really prepared to make a snowman, so we improvised with things around the yard.  Mulch for eyebrows, rocks for eyes and a nose, and pinecone looking things from our magnolia trees.  Luckily we had a scarf and some glasses to throw on the snowman to make him look more studious.

I think the boys did an excellent job!  The first snowman of the year.  Blake stayed inside dreaming of the day when he will be outside with his big brothers and daddy playing in the snow!

Happy first snowfall everyone!!
