Here we are working on the snow ice cream. Then, we suited up and headed outside!
Our home sweet home all covered in snow!!
We had to check on "Frosty"...he was still standing!
Then, we tried to make snowballs. Emma & Evan didn't do too well. The snow was so soft and fluffy you really had to work to make it stick. Daddy managed though and threw a couple at us! Then, he got out the 4-wheeler. He rode Emma around a little in the back yard. She was okay with it but not a huge fan. Evan loved it! He decided to take Evan to the drive way and do donuts! Evan was screaming "wheee" the whole time. I was not a fan of this but I was REALLY not a fan when he decided to take him up on the main highway in front of the house and continue this little adventure! That was my baby he had on that 4-wheeler slinging him around! Once they finally came back and Evan got off, he constantly said "I do donuts"! He was a fan of the adventurous little outing!
And then of course...my big kid had to play by himself! He is such a big kid at heart!! After all this excitement we headed back inside to warm up. We brought out the snow ice cream. It had to warm up a little before we could really eat it. They loved it though.
So, while I was fixing lunch, I happened to look outside and there was a bird inside my lamp post. How he got in there I have no clue. So, Justin went out to rescue him. Since he had to grab him anyway...he brought him up for Emma and Evan to see. Emma wasn't a fan...but Evan loved him. He is such an animal lover!! The bird is kind of hard to see because it matched Justin's gloves.
So, we headed back outside after lunchtime. We were going to try and make a trip to MaMa & PaPa's on the 4-wheeler and we made it to the Ward's house before Emma started pitching a fit...so we turned around. Evan and Daddy rode around some more doing more donuts. By now it was just sleeting and no more snow. Hints why Evan is now wearing a ski mask!
So, after this we headed in for naps. Once they got up we decided to make the trip to my parents after all but we took the truck instead. It was much warmer. That was the end of our time outside today. My work is closed again tomorrow and I would be really surprised if Justin has to go in. No worries though...there won't be a Snow Day #3 on the blog. But Valentine's is coming up! I made their classmates gifts today. I doubt they will have school on Friday but whenever we get to celebrate...our gifts are ready! Speaking of gifts...we don't have Emma & Evan's gift yet. Our plan was to get their fish on Thursday after work and have everything set up Friday morning when they woke up. Those plans have failed. We do have the "Finding Nemo" movie and they gold fish snacks...so they may just get that with a picture of a fish! We'll figure something out. Safe safe out there and stay warm!! :)
