Let It Snow

I was really going to attempt to make this a Wordless Wednesday, but atlas I could not contain myself from commenting. We got snow! And lots of it. Jake's school was canceled - our first ever snow day. I took the kids outside immediately after realizing that the steady rain had turned into huge flakes of snow and then again after lunch when we had a decent coating on the ground. The only problem was every time I turned around, Jadyn was eating the snow off any available surface. I also realized I have no knowledge of the proper mechanics for building a snowman but Jake and I did our best. You can see we had to scrape all the snow off the dirt around the entire radius of where our lil guy ended up. Oh, and the dogs loved it too. They stayed out there with us the whole time. It was so much fun. The only thing missing was Joe. He always seems to be gone when cool stuff like this happens. What can you do?
