Julie has been talking about her plans for a snowy day since September. One Saturday in January, they all came true.
Snowball fight!
The girls made a snowman. Julie named him ‘the Abominable Snowman’ (she saw Rudolph at a neighbor’s last month). Hanukkah gelt for the eyes. We were worried the squirrels would eat the chocolate but they stayed away.
The girls also went sledding by Julie’s school. Julie was very brave and liked going on long, fast runs, especially if it meant running into a fence. Both girls suffer a little from the ‘one-more-time’ condition so we were there until sundown
Meanwhile, the boys played Risk and Max worked on his Snap Circuit rovers, one of his favorite Christmas/Hanukkah gifts. He puts electric circuits together to make different actions and sounds, pretty cool. He says he wants to be an engineer when he grows up; we’ll take it.
9 inches of snow predicted for tomorrow and school is cancelled, so more snowball fight pictures coming soon…
