playing in the snow

unfortunately for big pop and grandma, it warmed up the day they left.  it had been in the teens and single digits with the wind (40-45 mph gusts) while they were here and today it was around 40!  the kids were bummed that the inch of snow or so that we had gotten over the past few days had all but melted.  it was nice to spend a little time outside though. 

the kids rode bikes and scooters for a little while and then we chased each other around the yard throwing small, slushy snowballs.  madelyn scraped together what was left of the snow on our front step into a "mommy and daddy snowman".
 and mason made his own "snow mouse".  i guess he called it a mouse because it was so small...
it was really nice to get some time out in the sunshine and fresh air while maddux was napping.  love.

Awe, I wish I could have seen them riding bikes and scooters. Running around in the snow would have been fun too! Cute Pictures!
