Frosty has arrived!

Here is Frosty. He arrived today and received a hearty welcome. They were very proud of all their hard work in making him. Everyone was tired after constructing such a tall snow man. He is as tall as me.

Here is my littlest one sitting on another snowman ball. My son decided to start one of his own, but we convinced him to come help us girls since we needed all the muscle to get the snowballs on top of each other. She is very cute sitting on it. She would use the branches to get up and then hold onto them to slide down. Too cute.

Here we are at the hill sledding and snowboarding. My youngest two enjoy sledding while my son and oldest enjoy snowboarding. I tried snowboarding today also. I am glad that I was the only one with a camera so it could not be caught on film! I have much more respect for my oldest two now. It looks easy but it is NOT. Maybe with a bit more practice I could manage it, but for now I am happy sledding. The youngest requires a pull up the hill so needless to say I am wiped out after an hour of pulling her up the hill!

Here she is, my little princess whom I have to pull around everywhere. She just got off her sled so I would turn it around and she could slide down again. I have to ride with her of course. Something about mommy riding with her makes it better I guess. She sure does love the snow.
We are still trapped here. My car is not able to move yet due to the pile of snow all around and in front of it and my kids somehow left the one and only shovel we have somewhere and the snow has covered it. Right now I am guessing it is somewhere by the house covered in 4 feet of snow due to the snow that fell in sheets off the roof today. NICE. My speech of "NOW YOU KNOW WHY I TELL YOU TO ALWAYS PUT STUFF BACK WHERE YOU FOUND IT!" I am sure did lots to solve our little problem. We have given up the search and my oldest went to borrow our neighbors. She does not have any little ones to lose her stuff! Thank goodness someone is prepared for snow. You would think I would own more than one shovel but in the past it was sufficient since apparently I am the only one who knows how to use it. Normally nobody goes near the thing as they are afraid I am going to tell them to use it to shovel the walk, but apparently it held some enticement yesterday when I was inside cooking supper. Go figure.
