Oh My Goodness! What is this Stuff?

So after all of the rain we had on Saturday and Sunday, it began to snow. It took us a bit longer than usual to get home from Aunt Saundra's house Sunday evening and the kids were convinced we were never going to make it home. Alas, we did make it and the kids stayed out to play. [I realize this is long, but I'm better with pictures than words.]





Abby didn't stay out long until she decided it would be better to do this:



eat popcorn and watch cartoons. Notice the bruise on her forehead. She was accidentally kicked in the head on the playground at school.

In the morning we arose to this:

And shortly after this, Abby headed back inside.



He needs to learn not to throw snow at the hands that pull him.
