Maymay and Snow Buggies

Well, I still can't believe how much snow we have here in Ohio. I think it totals somewhere between 15 and 20 inches. I love to look out the window and see all of the snow but driving in it is not so much fun! I am glad the kids got to go to school today. They were getting a little stir crazy.
We did have a great day yesterday. Brent was off work yesterday and we enjoyed the unexpected day with him. We had lots of playing in the snow. Brent decided he was going to build the kids a snow fort or "igloo!" Here is a picture of the beginning of his work. He is still perfecting his masterpiece and I'll post a picture when he is finished!



The kids wanted to go sledding so we put all of our snow clothes on and headed over to the High School. There is a great big hill over there and the kids had a blast. Maddie got to stay with Mrs. Carol so she didn't have to get out in the cold, although she does have a snow suit! Miles only went down a few times. The hill was a little bit big for him! He did keep calling the sled a snow buggy and I loved everytime he said it! After his few times down the hill, I took him to the car to wait until the girls and Brent were finished sledding. He ended up playing with my phone and wanting to take pictures. Here is a picture of Maddie in her snow suit and a few of the pictures of Miles and me in the car.







I guess I will wrap up this post. One final thing to mention is Maddie's new nickname. Yesterday, I kept hearing Miles talk to Maddie and I wasn't really sure what he was saying. So, I decided to get closer and listen to what he was saying. When I listened closer I realized he was saying Maymay. When I asked him why he was calling her that, he told me that was her nickname. Now, all the kids are calling her Maymay. So sweet.

Here are a few pictures of the kids before bed...
