Playing in the Snow

More snow has come and A and B were anxious to have some fun. Recalling how B didn't care for it much last year? He's apparently over whatever it was that offended him. Thankfully E slept so as not to hinder the snow celebration.

breaking out the shovels - no real method in using them
then B insisted on getting his lawn mower out...didn't quite satisfy him
A insisted on getting out her bike if B could use his lawn mower....she too realized it wasn't much fun in the snow

So how do you play in the snow?
snow angels! on the driveway!

and some sledding down the big hill on the side yard
Weeeee!
Swings, why not?

heading in for the day

Snow!

Benjamin and Abie got to get out and help shovel snow with Jacqie. This was Benjamin's first real introduction to the white fluffy stuff:

Notice the play garden shovel and hoe? Yes, that's all Jacqie could come up with. She couldn't even find the one shovel they did have last year (apparently lent to church and it has since returned). So the next day they went out and got a good shovel for Jacqie and 2 little ones (cost about the same as Jacqie's) for Abie and Benjamin. However Benjamin still doesn't like stepping in the snow, he cherishes his shovel - mostly indoors.
