Oh, joy.... snow! And, not just snow... frigid temperatures with some of the nastiest winds ever. Girlies and I joke that we're in the Arctic with the polar bears.
Eagles game was even cancelled from Sunday night to tonight, and that's where Dan is at the moment... freezing his butt off I am sure.
Abrielle's hatred for all things cold has not changed since last year. Not even in the slightest bit. I'd love to sit here and write that she has so much fun sledding with her sisters this year, and that she was so excited to see her first snow of the year these past few days. But, I can't write it... because she HATES it. All of it. The cold, the snow, the winds. I don't blame my girl! The pictures that I have where she is smiling were this afternoon when I took the three of them out to play for a little bit. Faith and Maddie were making her laugh so hard when they would come down the hill on their pathetic sled and come to a stop due to the lack of "umph" in their sled;) It was funny! But, other than those giggles, she hates it.
Big girls love the snow though, and Maddie especially. She and I went for a "snow walk" on Sunday when it had first started. Maddie had been looking forward to snow for the longest time! She loves everything about it-- snow angels, sledding, tubing, snowmen, etc. She was so funny too and wrote "I love U Mom" in the snow. Of course, I needed a picture of that.

I am right there with you, Abrie! I need sunshine and warmth almost as much as air and water. Alex definitely shows the winter blues, but he loves to play in the snow. Like a plant, he has to have outside time to grow.
I have never tried this but I have heard that plastic slides and sleds are faster if you rub wax paper on the bottom. I think it is similar to the surf board wax idea.
