Fun snow day

As promised, we got the girls up and dressed in snow gear this morning.

Matthew rigged together a "sled". He took a lid to a Rubbermaid tub and drilled holes in it. Then he threaded a rope through the holes and, presto, "white-trash sled".

It did the trick though!

Elyn was not a fan of the sled though.

While Matthew took a pit-stop to drop Elyn off, Nora made a few snow angels.

Then it was back on the sled!

This is a very quick video of her sledding. Listen carefully and you can hear her laughing. She loved it!

Matthew got a little tired, so I took a spin around the street...I made it ONCE before I nearly had a heart attack.Doesn't Elyn look enthused? Ha! She did not MOVE from this spot for about 10 minutesSnow angels for everyone!Then it was time for a snowball fight (see Elyn in the background? HA!). Nora was excited about the snowball fight until...

this happened!

She recovered quickly though.

In time to do this...

Elyn needed a little loving after that blow.

But Nora was ready for the sled again...

Elyn...ha ha ha ha! She wanted NO part of the sled!

After hot chocolate, lunch and a nap, we loaded up our car and headed to the field beside our church.

Our friends, the Grahams, joined us too. Amber has a real sled (disk) that Elyn enjoyed riding on...if she was with Amber. Amber was her favorite person today.

And, as always, Nora and Gibson loved playing together!

The older girls took a spin on the sled too.

As we were wrapping things up, the Browns dropped by. I'm sure they did not intend to get out of their car and participate in an impromptu snowball fight....but they did. And I think all the "boys" involved had a good time.

It was a great snow day.

Our church services have been cancelled for tomorrow. We are PRAYING that school resumes on Monday!

I'm exhausted. Have a happy Sunday!
