Snowy Days

The snow has hung around this week and the kids have been making the most of it. 

Sledding is definitely the activity of choice.  They started out trying to sled down those stairs you see behind Lane.  That quickly got nixed (I'm such a mean mom!) and they decided the small hill next to the house would work.  It isn't much of a hill but the frozen puddle at the bottom means they slide a fair ways.

Of course there are other ways to entertain oneself on a sled (and yes, she did narrowly avoid the tree!).

Hmmm...how does this thing GO?!  Another example of the 'Monkey see, Monkey do' phenomenon that occurs on a regular basis around here... 

These two boys love digging in snow too.  However, one of them does NOT like gloves (or a hat for that matter).  Apparently the 'Monkey see, Monkey do' phenomenon does not apply to practical situations, only the 'let's see if we can make Mommy cringe' situations!
