Saturday was great weather for playing outside with the temps in the low 30s. lisa and the kids built a snow man. Initially Sophia and I made two snow balls that were too large to hoist onto one another. This lead to two snowmen as I could not convince her that we should just make a snowman that is taking a nap. In the end she enlisted the help of her brother and mother to deck out a full sized snow man complete with scarf and carroted nose. Merrick also was able to get some 'ice time' in with his hockey stick. What a difference a day makes as it started to rain Saturday night and judging by the amount of water in our sleds we must have gotten a quarter inch or more rain. By Sunday morning, the ice rink was gone as was the majority of the snowman's face. The rain has continued all day, and everything is just sloppy enough to make the outdoors uninteresting for the likes of my little troopers. Lisa entertained them with baking and frosting of sugar cookies, a project that burnted up most of the afternoon as well as the kitchen counter space. The weather for tomorrow is predicting an arctic blast that is going to freeze all of the melt water and wreeck havoc on the streets--we are going to try to get in Sophia's hockey practice before that next change in weather befalls and befouls us.
