The snow is finally here! I am so excited that we are going to have a white Christmas! I don't really like snow but it doesn't seem like Christmas without it. It was so nice outside today and the kids wanted to play in the snow so I dressed them up and sent them out.

Poor Connor didn't have any snow clothes at my house so he had to wear Lexie's pink snow pants and pink gloves but he didn't seem to mind it at all. Since Connor was wearing Lexie's new snow pants she had to wear her old ones which are a size 6/9 months so they were a little tight and high-waters but they both had so much fun! The had a snowball fight, made snow angels and played on the slide. It was so fun to watch them. After they were both wet and cold we went inside for some hot chocolate.

Well that was going to be the end of my post but while I was typing the kids were playing in Lexie's room and I heard a loud crash. I ran in there to see what was going on and this is what I found.

Before I could even speak Seth said, "Look Bob! We made a fort!" He was so excited and they were all having so much fun playing in this "fort". They must have worked very hard on the fort because they stripped all the blankets and mattress pad off of Lexie's mattress and pulled all the baskets off of her shelves and moved it from her closet to the middle of the room. When I walked in Connor was standing on her dresser getting ready to walk on the mattress. I'm guessing that was Seth's idea and Connor was testing it out for him...gotta love older brothers.

You can imagine how excited I was to see this "fort" considering that I had spent most of the morning cleaning my house, especially Lexie's room. I think that Seth could tell that I wasn't very happy because he helped me clean it all up without complaining once. Crazy kids! Oh well, I guess it gives me something to blog about.
