Day: December 6, 2007

We just had a HUGE dump of snow, and then immediately had some freaky warm weather.  The temps went from -5 degrees to 13 degrees from one day to the next.

It started snowing on Saturday, and came down in HUGE FLUFFY GIANT FLAKES!  And it snowed off and on until Sunday Evening when it started to rain, and by Monday the snow was mostly gone, and you didn’t even need a jacket outside it was so warm.

 WEIRD!

Anyway, on Sunday Afternoon Jon went outside to play with the 3 older kids.  I figured they’d be back in fairly soon ’cause IT WAS COLD…and Jon hates being cold.  If there is anything that he hates more than being cold – it’s being wet and cold. 

Three Hours Later, everyone comes in yelling for the camera.  Apparently they needed to take pictures of this:

If you click on the picture you can see the other pictures of the igloo.  The kids had a blast.  You just use an ice cream bucket and start building up around yourself.  Jon helped them and they made it big enough that 3 kids could sit comfortably inside, and tall enough that Jeremy could stand up.

I love making these kinds of memories with the kids.

What are your memories from winter or Christmas time from when you were a kid?
