Let it snow!

The weather outside has definitely been crazy. The last couple of weeks we have had snow storm after snow storm. I think we got just around 2 feet of snow before thanksgiving and it did not seem like it was ever going to stop. We had a lot of warning for the first storm -they canceled school and told everyone to stay home because it was supposed to be a white out and quite nasty.

Ian watching the white out start to get thicker and thicker. By the time we were in the thick of the storm you could no longer see the other town homes or pavilion.

Ian was so excited. Because we had been telling him it was going to snow tomorrow. Now the first thing he says every morning, "Go play in snow." The best part is Ian's snow clothes from last year still fit -although last winter they were big and many would call his pants "floods." The dog on the other hand has apparently put on a little weight.
Ian remembering what snow is. Ian and Daddy built a nice big snowman

Surprising Ian was not a big fan of sledding. He did go down the hill a couple times (notice the tongue sticking out to catching the snowflakes). He also loved his hat covering his eyes...why? I don't know.

Ian absolutely loved his snowman but unfortunately a few hours after coming in our home someone had destroyed it. So Daddy and Ian decided to get creative and build a castle. They built the castle on our front porch -easier to guard and keep an eye on. Plus at night Tim would spray it down with a squirt bottle so that it would freeze.
Ian also loves to shovel. If he could shovel all day long I think he would. The only down side is he finds it more enjoyable to shovel the snow back onto the sidewalks. So solution...put him in the middle of the grass area and let him shovel away!

While now the snow is starting to melt because of the rain we have had (again crazy weather) we still have a blast. Below are some other picture from playing in the snow.
Here's to hoping we get a lot more snow!
