A Snow day!

It snowed yesterday and we had a blast! I wasn't planning on taking the boys out in the snow because Parker had been real sick this past week, and the night before was at the ER. But since Parker's fever was gone, and he was acting fine we all bundled up and went outside to play in the snow. Daddy grabbed the trash can lid and let the boys use it as a sled. I personally have never done that, and wasn't sure it would even work. But, daddy's "sled" worked really well. But then mom-mom showed up with a brand new sled for the boys. The new sled worked so much better then daddy's trash can lid sled. Although, I must say, that was a good idea on daddy's part!
Well, the older boys went sledding with daddy and I, while Dustin went inside with mom-mom. Dustin had been crawling in the snow prior, and he was really starting to get frozen. Dustin still had a good time in the snow, and this was his first time playing in it.
Daddy and I took the boys back behind our house and let them slide down the big hill on their new slide. Bradley and Parker laughed the entire way down the hill. Then, Bradley pointed to the steepest hill, and wanted to sled down it. Ugh.. daddy thought it would be fun, I did too, I never thought it would be such a "rough ride".
We all made our way to the top of the hill, and daddy and Bradley sat on the sled together. They were going first, then I was going to ride down with Parker. Well, all was going good.. then toward the bottom of the hill I watched daddy and Bradley bounce off the sled. No one was hurt, but Bradley was afraid of the big hill after that. The sled hit a ground hog hole, and that was why they bounced off. So, Parker and I ended up not going down the big hill, and we moved back to the smaller one!

But it was still a great time. I am really looking forward to more snow now. I hope we get lots of it this year. It is a real pain trying to drive in it, and get to and from our garage, but it is so much fun! So.. "let it snow, let it snow"!

I am also really looking forward to this Friday. Brad and I are supposed to go snow tubing with my brother. We have 3 free tickets! So I am sooo looking forward to that. I hope we do go, and nothing comes up that we can't go. I haven't gone sledding since I was twelve, and I really forgot how much fun it is!
