Snowy days

Wanted to share a couple pictures from the last weeks.

Here was snow day number one - the kids made home-made calzones and they were fantastic. Yes they were still in their p.j.s at lunch time....in fact the whole day (except Anna, since I dress her). The second snow day I did insist on regular clothing!

This photo was not from a snow day - the snow days are typically too rotten to spend much time outside. Sometimes the kids will play for a bit, but not the duration it takes to create these lovelies! Last week we warmed up enough to stay outside for a LONG time and build snowmen, since there was enough "melty" snow to get it to pack. Note that Joel's snowman grabbed my camera bag and Carolyn's has a sled. We made the mouths with cereal and much fell to the ground making any poor bird that happens to still be in Iowa very happy.
