A Snowy Day

This is in our backyard extending out onto the ice which has been frozen solid for two weeks now. brrrr! Of course, our neighbor was making the ultimate sledding hill with his snow blower to the left. The kids had a great time, but I think the guys were having more fun slicking it down, building up the ramps, and snowblowing the ice to make it slicker! Taylor and Devin with the tube.

You can see the patch of grass where we took the snow to build up the side ramps. Taylor is being a good sport and carrying the tube up. The worse part of sledding. Luckily, our hill is less than a bunny hill--more like a hamster hill.

Sweeping down the ramp.

Afterwards, to entertain the kids, they played with toothpicks and marshmellows. It's a hit; I'd highly recommend it anytime you're trying to make dinner and don't know how to keep the kids busy. Ashton decided to take one marshmellow and stick tons of toothpicks in it like a sea anemone. How different:)
