Walkin' in a Winter Wonderland!



Becca & Megan...with my camera! I guess they wanted to document their sneaking out of the house to go to their secret hiding place...so smart! They must get it from their father :) Sad thing is, when confronted with, "I told you not to leave the house...I told you not to go into the wilderness!" Their response is, "we didn't! We were in the backyard playing, you just didn't see us!"
Now I know where all that mud is coming from! Give the kids an undeveloped subdivision and they run wild! If it wasn't for poisonous snakes, bobcats, foxes and deer, I just might be okay with their exploring natures. Mental note, get them rubber boots to help keep fangs from skin!
These pics were, of course, taken later in the afternoon, after the snow had melted.
Here are some pics before the snow melted...our beautiful winter day, err, morning...
The front of our house. By mid afternoon, the snow was already melting :(

Stephen had some pals drop by...he's very lucky that he rides the bus with two kids who are in his third grade class. They buzzed on over in their four wheelers and blessed us with a morning of snowball fights and fort building...of course, the snow ran out before their energy did.
I'm not so sure Paul was glad...he was pummeled quite extensively by those under the five foot level!
You can see in places that the snow did get to about five inches deep...oh how I miss Washington sometimes!


Lauren's attempt at making a snowman. This snow was perfect--not too wet and not too dry! It held together well, even with Kimberly's help and Stephen's "King of the Snowball" episode...
