SNOW Day 2

Monday we had a snow day. Michael had to work because it was the last day of his close and he had to send it off so that was not fun for him. Lindsay got to work from home so during her early lunch break we went out to play. Our snow wouldn't stick very well to make a snow man so we had to build a big pile of snow and then carve the snow man out. It is a little ghetto looking but Eden loved it so that's all that matters. Harley LOVES the snow too. He was running and bouncing all up and down the street and his legs were completely covered in big chunks of ice by the time we went it. It took a little while for him to defrost in the laundry room.
Eden ate the snow just about the whole time we were out there. I have tons of pictures of her just like this.

Eden posing with the snowman. She has talked about building another Frosty for days because of the Branson trip.

In between playing outside in the snow, Eden painted and painted and painted. I put her new easel together yesterday morning and she LOVES IT!!!! She can't stop painting hardly for anything. I'm taking requests for who wants them because there are so many.

She loves the chalkboard on the other side as well. I think she really likes to erase what she has drawn and start over.
Then it was back to the snow after nap.

She enjoyed sitting down and patting and smoothing out the snow.




Lindsay and I made a "castle" for Eden the princess. This took a long time and started getting a little dark by the time we finished. Eden loved it because it was just for her because she was the princess;)



Mommy and Eden checking out the castle together. She didn't really want to be taking pictures at this point. And it wasn't really this dark but I guess with Lindsay's flash it makes it look darker than it was.

Then we had to finish the night off with snow cream. It was very good. Yum!

Leanne,

Andrew got that same art easle for Christmas when he was 3. He loved it and we just this past fall sold it in a yard sale (lack of room in this house). Eden looks like she really enjoys painting and drawing on it. I just hope in a year or so she doesn't do what Andrew did. He figured out that everything unscrewed fairly easily and I would find it completely taken apart :-) Gotta love little boys.
