I never would have thought we'd be snowed in again in March! But we were. All of us I think were pretty much over the snow on this last round, but after staying in their jammies for a while inside, they did go out to play in it again, and tried to make the best of it.
This does look like a pretty perfect snow day, doesn't it? Fire on, PJs, baby napping, Daddy home, and board games. I mean, even the dog all cozied up on the couch! Perfect. (The kids were even getting along!!)

Ella really loved our first snow man we made on Saturday, and she was broken hearted when he melted. Seriously. I drove past the front of the house to show her what was left of him on Monday (nothing but a tiny snowball), and she cried real, sensitive, sad tears for her lost snowman. Boo-hooed even. Really tugged on both mine and Carter's heart strings. I told her we'd make another one next time it snowed (not knowing that would be in just a few days), and she insisted on a "girl one" next time. With a bow. Sooooo, a "girl one" is what she got on Thursday.
A very fashionable snow-woman, with her leopard print accessories! Ella loved her. (guess I forgot to take a picture of Ella with her).
Then we went inside and made snow ice cream with fresh snow, milk, sugar, and vanilla. It was more of a milk shake, but it was yummy and the kids loved it!
Thumbs up from Carter!
Later that afternoon, our neighbor friends knocked on our door with a "gift" for the kids. We bundled and headed out to see what they had for us.
It was a giant snow ball! They had rolled it all the way from their house around the corner. Actually I think this was the third or fourth one they had started. Each one before it had gotten too big to keep pushing, so they abandoned them and started again. HA! I couldn't stop laughing because Erin (their Mom) was so tired and out of breath when they finally got here, she had gotten her work out in for the day! And now, 3 days later, that giant snow ball has turned into a giant mud puddle! HA! Oops.
Anyway, the kids had a snowball fight and played a little longer. But this time it was all melting and it was pretty muddy, so we had some messy kids to clean up! But I know they had fun. :)
Hopefully this will be my final snow post of the season, as we are all ready for spring!!
