Snow Men and Snow Caves

Today's mission was to build an igloo. That didn't happen.......too much work for Mom and Dad. Nonetheless, we headed outside to play in the great packing snow and have some winter fun.Elizabeth was the first out. She was all ready to help Daddy shovel off the deck.
Both Patrick and Elizabeth were all about eating snow today. Gross. Patrick was also very into making snowballs to throw at Mommy. Guess who was encouraging that!?!
So instead of making an igloo, Daddy created a snow cave for the kids in the snow bank along the driveway.
He even busted out the small shovels to get deeper in there and make the cave bigger. It didn't last too long though, because Daddy dove on it when he and Patrick were playing in the deep snow.
Elizabeth and Mommy built a snowman. Here is the before......
......and here is the after. Not bad, huh?

And then Patrick discovered he could jump off the deck into the huge snow piles!

Patrick was so excited about jumping. Too bad he discovered it as our time outside was winding down. By this time Elizabeth was in tears twice because she wanted to go in.
GERONIMO!!
