Snow play

This winter has been very mild and has been lacking snow.  While I don't mind - I do like a little bit of snow.  We have had some a couple of times, but it is usually gone by midday.  So when we got snow one day when it was our turn to have preschool at our house, I decided to let them go out to play (I learned it was a tough challenge to get 5 kids 4 and under ready to go outside and then clean them up).  They had a blast playing with the toys outside.  The favorite seemed to be the toy lawn mower and they all seemed to take a turn.  Towards the end, they ganged up on me and started throwing snow at me.  What fun we had!

I realized that my camera was set to take the pictures with a blue tint to them so that is why some are like that, but honestly I kind of like them.

Sean "cooked" something for all his classmates and at one point he was chasing, I think, Addie around the grass with a plastic pizza saying - here is your pizza, I made it for you.  All the while she was running away from him saying she didn't want it.

Let me out!

Ryan managed to find a ball outside - his favorite.

Sawyer - I think I took this through a window.

I didn't have boots in Ryan's size so I wrapped his feet in plastic bags.  They worked pretty well, except they were slippery - he didn't mind though.

Addie - I think other than throwing snow at me, she spent all her time making tracks in the snow.

Addie - she had just thrown snow at me.

Look at the mischievous grin - I think he is planning on getting me with snow.

I'll have a seat, thank you very much!

Sean's coming after me again!
