Fastest Snowball in the East

All day Saturday we watched as the snow fell outside the windows.  It was so pretty!  We were busy doing house projects and the kids never asked to go out.  Noah even started playing "snow day" but still never mentioned going out.  At 4pm I decided it was my responsibility to take them outside, so I got everyone suited up and Paul and I went out to play with the kids.  It took about 10-15 minutes to get everyone dressed.  (Note:  This is the same snow bunny outfit M had last year, we saved it and it still fit!!! so glad we got two years of use out of it!!!)

We headed out the door, tried to make some snow balls and ran around for a bit.  Noah and I decided to make a snow octopus because the snow wasn't heavy enough for a snowman.

Then Noah spied some big snow balls at the library from the snow plows.  He went over to pick them up and each one crumbled as he lifted it.

This repeated event broke his spirit and he was ready to go inside.  I made hot chocolate and we were done with our snow play date completely (hot chocolate and all) by 4:40.
