The weather outside is frightful...

Although the snow does make our lawn look nice, I am partial to warm weather. However, we couldn't deprive our boys of playing in the snow so last Saturday when it all came pouring down on us, we went right out into the thick of it. First, we did some of our annual sledding. Brad thought up this great idea of attaching a rope to the back of our van and having one of us drive around the other on a sled. This started last year in the empty church parking lot. The parking lot wasn't empty Saturday so somehow he convinced me to do this on the road around our neighborhood. There wasn't much traffic so I thought it would be okay. All of you wondering why it would be okay, well, you're right. It's not. I wish I could've gotten a picture of Brad and Aaron on the sled with the snow plow coming up behind them. I didn't want to get out of the way because I would get stuck going down a lesser plowed street, but that plow was just too fast for us. So, I turned down the next street and got stuck in the snow for the 2nd and 3rd time that morning (too bad it wasn't the last time-snow plows take their time getting to my circle). Anyway, I did manage to get a few pictures of the winter wonderland in our front yard.
