What is wrong with my kids? They chose to stay in tonight and take a bath vs going out and playing in the snow and sledding... We are going on day 9 here of this crazy weather and I guess the novelty has worn off. I really think they would want to be out there more and for longer periods of time if they had snow pants and boots. The jeans and tennis shoes get a bit cold after about 20 minutes! We did do some sledding this morning and the kids had just as much fun throwing icy snow chunks left from the freezing rain. Up to 7 more inches predicted tonight - who would have guessed Portland could get almost 1 1/2 feet of snow in a little over a week? Brian is still checking every weather report, news station, online doppler, radar and satellite image every 10 minutes hoping that we are going to break out of this very soon so he can start his Christmas shopping.
They were happy making snow angels and pretending to be snowballs in the tub.
There was even some water wrestling. They must have some pent up energy as they have been really physical the last few days - lots of running, chasing, wrestling and dog piling each other.
We built a fort tonight and they thought it was the greatest! They kept running and sliding headfirst under the blankets...
We made popcorn and turned on Toy Story... Here they are watching from the fort. Ben had to go find his buddies Woody and Buzz for movie night. He is holding on tight here to Woody (Buzz not pictured).
