The snow started early this morning and we were completely excited! Paul volunteered to feed the animals and I made a pancake breakfast with the boys. Their Aunt Cathy had brought us some crazy carpets yesterday and the boys and I were out of the house ASAP! We made a few different runs before settling on one behind the house. The others quickly disappearing in the falling snow. With the wind pushing up the drifts we can only guess we've had 6 inches so far.
Sledding with the boys is an absolute blast. Our procedure was Mommy would set up the run and then be their assistant at the top, launching them down the hill. Then I'd get my turns! The boys even convinced me to go head first a few times. Too fun. We even tried a double and a triple run with the boys and I all going down together on one sled. I even managed to get Paul to go down once. It was great, we crashed into drifts and snow went everywhere! After 2 and a half hours I talked the boys into coming into the house.
While they were finishing up I did a quick check in on the animals, let them out of their coops and cleared the snow away from the pigs electric fence. All are well.
Now the boys are asking for hot chocolate and I have none so I'm off to find a recipe to make it from scratch. Wish me luck!
