Little did we know it would be the first of many, but when we woke up to a nice coating of snow on this particular December morning we were very excited to get out and play in it!! I tortured the boys by making them eat breakfast first, but they managed to survive. Once we got outside, the boys proceeded to run thru, jump on, play in and eat the snow.
It wasn't very much snow (yet) and the ground was still wet and somewhat warm so when rolled up the balls weren't at all snowy white. They were more like poopy brown. (A description that would have all three of my boys cracking up!)
The next day I happened to be out and about and at the last minute had a genius idea to buy the boys these little snow discs. These things were awesome (to everyone except Jack who absolutely threw a fit whenever I tried to place him on one)...
Behind our neighbor's house is this awesome sledding hill. We had a blast going down it on our new discs. It was just steep enough that we attained good speed going down, yet climbing back up was very manageable, even for Sam.
We could have spent another hour out there, we had so much fun! But, the sun was setting, it was time to go in and make dinner. Fortunately, the snow hung around for the rest of the winter (even as I write this 2 months later), so the boys have had ample opportunity to go sledding.
