Snow Day

Lydia’s school had a snow day, and when we came home all she wanted to do was play in the snow. I wish I had gotten a picture of her tremendous efforts at making a snowman. At one point, she was lying on her back pushing an enormous snowball with both boots trying so hard to make it even bigger. When Abe came home almost an hour early just to play in the snow with the kids, he had to use a ramp to get the second snowball on top of Lydia’s behemoth.

Abe played with the kids and neighborhood kids for hours. He pulled the girls on a sled at top speed all around the yard for an eternity. The girls had never had so much fun in their little lives.

When it was all over, they came inside for cocoa and tuna melts.

I continue to be the un-fun, pregnant blob in the family. Mainly I spent the day on the couch and in bed.

Here are some pictures of everyone else who lived with more enthusiasm than I did today!

Ammon came inside after he pulled off his gloves for the umpteenth time. He loved watching the activities from his cozy inside perch.

Oooh, I have proof that sometimes I am not the only occupant of the couch. This picture is from break when Abe was taking a well deserved rest and Mary was passed out after a tantrum, but still. I share the couch.
