It, Finally Friday, Snowed!!

4:51........yep, that is what time the boys woke up this morning! They ran into our room to tell us it had snowed 5 inches and was still snowing! Then I told them to go back to bed! At least for 45 minutes or so. We all got up around 6am and sure enough it had snowed about 4 inches and was still freezing raining. So we ate breakfast and waited until the sun came up. It took about an hour, literally, to get everyone dressed including ourselves....that is always, ahem, exciting. I am so excited to say that each of the kids had a blast! Bottle Rocket and Smoke Bomb went sledding for at least an hour and a half. The neighborhood kids and dads all built a ramp at the end of the driveway which created a new level of fun for the kids. Fire Cracker dawned a baseball cap with a snow hat to cover his ears so his glasses did not get wet. He enjoyed watching the other kids and sledding somewhat. Until he peed in his pants! Back to the drawing board, stripping off the layers and then back outside again. As for Sparkler she loved to ride in her baby sled- best invention ever- where she is buckled in and leaning back slightly. She rode down the driveway and loved it! Of course she could not move in all the layers we had her in! She basically would take one step and topple over! It is a nice treat for a Saturday! Now excuse me as all this snow play and preparation has worn me out! Stay tuned for round 2 later today!
