SNOW!!

All I can say is that there is a lot of freaking snow and I have a love/hate relationship with it!  It's beautiful, it can be fun, but it's soooooo cold!  It's a huge pain to put on snow boots, hats, gloves, etc. just to go get the mail and to have to get two kids ready is even worse.

It's already snowed a lot more than last year and stayed around a lot longer, which I guess is actually normal.

The kids don't really mind the snow, and luckily I don't have to go outside with them like I did last year when Jake was younger.  Now I just send them out and check on them every few minutes.  Here are some of their favorite activities:

Sledding down the driveway

Into the street :)

Building snow forts

Machines in the snow

 Sledding in the front yard (I'm proud to say that I built this hill for them)

Jake's personal favorite is eating the snow
