The First Sledding!

Breaking news! It finally snowed enough last night (although just barely so) to go sledding this morning! Fortunately the schools complied and we had a two hour delayed start (although they still get out at the regular time.)

Of course Grady, being the expert that he is, had plenty of advice to offer to Alice! HA!! HA!!


The snow was pretty sticky so we had a hard time getting started. Once we did there was no going back!! Later on, I moved us to a different part of the yard. If the children dropped their sled, it scooted down through the trees almost to the storm drain and creek below.

Alice and Pryor took off their mittens so they didn't last long although we were very busy!!

They decided this snowman looked like a girl so they named her Suzy. Not sure where that name came from. Grady gave her his hat. They added more rocks for buttons later on, but it's snowing right now and I don't feel like going out and taking another picture! :)

Pryor loved taking snow, putting it in his shovel and throwing it!! We spent an exhuasting hour or more outside, raced inside for a second (or in Alice's case first) breakfast and made it to the bus stop right as it pulled up. PHEW!
