Snow, snow, snow

Isabella hasn't gotten too many opportunities to play outside this winter, due to the awful, arctic winter we're having. But if the temps make it up to the 20's, and there's not much wind, you will more than likely find her outside with her daddy.

Here she's standing in our driveway, people say it looks like a tunnel! This was in January, so the snow has gotten much higher on both sides since then. Monte has actually had to scoop DOWN to uncover our mailbox a few times! Thankfully the city came and got rid of some of our snow for us, at one time it was piled about 8 feet high on both sides.

Playing with her sand toys, which have become snow toys for the winter.

Making "Snow castles".


Many of you know the lengths one must go to in order to get your child properly bundled up to go outside (or as Isabella says, "bungled" up). Here she is looking a little stiff.

It was too cold for the snow to stick together very good, so they settled for a mini "Frosty". Today they were able to make a much bigger one, appropriately named by Isabella, "Frosty's Daddy".
