Where have all the Snowflakes Gone?

We went to WalMart last week.  It was raining, pouring really.  The weather man said it was suppose to snow, but he was dead wrong.  So, WalMart had this sign out and it said something like, "For Lack of Snow, 50% of all shovels, sleds, snowboots and scrappers  On This Table Only."  Ha!!  I mean, it is JANUARY in IDAHO and it SHOULD be snowing.  They probably thought we were crazy buying a sled, but hey, 50% off!!

Do you think it a lack of snow to stop my kids?  Hardly!  Because we buy John Deere Tractors, and they can pull anything! Including a sister in the wrong 1:16 ratio. We like to stay in our PJ until like 9 am, so it's not like this was a noon or anything....

They did want to go out and play, so we did. In our snow suits, because it was cold, even though there was no snow.  Don't you just love my pink marshmallow?!

We really stuck it to the man, because on Monday is really did snow!!  Landen and Maggie begged Dad all morning for to go sledding and once we got a little break they went out.   Isn't it great to see Michael fulfilling his role as breadwinner while fulfilling it as father?!  He can make deals on he phone and pull his kids around.  I love that man.

They loved the sled.   Maggie especially, but she loves the wagon, so it was pretty much a given.

Then Maggie wants to swing.  Don't ask me why she wants to swing when it's 33 degrees out, but she does.

Landen built a snowman with Dad while Maggie sat in the swing.  He wanted me to take a picture.  When I said, "Smile," The cheeseball started dancing....

There you go.  A real smile. Mostly.

 
Too bad he melted.
Don't tell Landen, I don't think he noticed yet.  
 We made snowmen at storytime today.  He talked about his the whole time.  Then we ran a bunch of errands and he forgot.  It might traumatize him when he realize that his snowman melted.
