A snow day with Daddy!

After watching "Barney" for the 100th time, we decided to bundle eveyone up and get them outside. It is no easy task to get 5 kids ready for the now but it was very worth it. Abagayle was so excited to be going outside until she realized that she was going to have to walk in the snow. She did not like the boots so she just stood and yelled, "no shoes in snow mommy!" Paul has decided that she is going to be our high maintanence girl! Go figure!!!





We were not sure what to do with Keyan since she can not walk in the snow so I grabbed a sled for her to sit on. It wasn't long before Abby realized this was the better way to get around! They both loved being pulled by Jamahl and Daddy. What started out as a few minutes to explore the snow turned into our first sledding adventure.


Jamahl is getting pretty good at controlling where the sled goes. He is still pretty scared of tiping over but his moves are coming along! Daddy spent a lot of time trying to convince him that it was fun to fall. (Good luck on that)


McKenzy takes her first ride down the hill. She had fun but she much prefers just to wander into the woods. She is not deterred by the snow at all. It was not unusual to find way back by the barn. You never quite know where she is going to go.


Keyan took her turn next and loved it. You could hear her laughing the whole tiime. When it wasn't her turn she was yelling as loud as she could (which isn't very loud!) "I READY...TURN" IF we could have kept her boots on her skinny feet I am not sure we ever would have got her to come inside.

Abagayle went next and as you can see she is the dare devil of the bunch. Her face tells it all. She loved going again and again as long as she did not have to walk back up the hill. Daddy told her that she likes to have all the fun without doing any of the work. No one will ever call her dumb!

Last but not least is our Sidney bear. She patiently waited her turn every time and just enjoyed her time flying down the hill with Daddy. Sidney loves our dog Molly so she had just as much fun chasing her around. You haven't heard a sweeter rendition of "How much is that Molly is the winnow?" until you hear Sidney sing it.
Hopefully you all either find time to enjoy the snow or you are someplace nice and warm! Have a great weekend.
