We finally made a snowman!! The temps were around 40 today and the sun was shining . . . which means the snow is melting fast but it also means that the snow was perfect for building a snowman - wet and sticky! We got done with lunch on time and just as I was about ready to gather all of them for storytime followed by quiet time, Samuel asked to go outside. Honestly, all I really wanted to do was get the kids to their quiet time so that I could rest too! But, the weather was beautiful and we've hardly been outside to play this winter, so I put aside what I wanted and began the 15-20 minute process of dressing all of us to go outside. And I'm sure glad that I did! We had so much fun outside - we built a snowman, played with the sleds, ate snow, had a snowball fight, and shoveled off the deck. We were outside for almost an hour before Samuel had a potty emergency and we needed to head inside quickly!! The weather this weekend is supposed to be in the 50s (!!!) and rainy so I don't think our snowman will hang around for a long time. I'm ready for a good snowstorm so we can enjoy more time outside in the snow!
