We are all enjoying our winter wonderland. Dylan accomplished a 5 foot snow man with dads help. Shayleigh is having the time of her life, and yes she is wearing a coat - its keeping the snow from caking into her feathers on her front legs and chest. Dylan and I took her and Cody for a walk Sunday morning, they had so much fun, but they both spent 10 minutes in the tub melting the snow off their long hair. Cody is totally disgusted with the depth of the snow because it is belly deep for him, he is always on the look out for a patch of packed snow.
Last night we went to Mom and Dads for dinner, my brother picked us up in his 4x4 - he was in his element slipping and sliding all the way up the hill. Once we arrived, he was showing Dylan his sled, and decided the two of them would tobogon down the hill in front of Mom and Dads. As they were walking up Dylan said - " Have you ever tobogoned down here? Uncle Matt said "not on this sled" Dylan returned "If you have never done this before, why are we going to the top of the hill?" Matts answer was "Because that is the way Uncle Matt does it" They didn't get very far though, and bumped into a snow bank - but I found out later that in the Snow of '96 Matt took an inflatable boat to the top of the same hill and rode it down! Thats my brother for you!
After Dinner Mom and I took the boys for a walk and made a sledding hill beside the house - the boys rode cardboard and garbage bags they have a great time laughing all the way down!!
Christmas is two days away and looks like we will have a white christmas - so exciting! Right now I am decorating the kids room with some decorations to wake up too. Oh man I have so much to do!
