Aerin has been hoping for snow since we returned to Cincinnati. The day we arrived back from sunny Orlando, we did have a few inches on the ground. It was enough to make a snowman (Mr. Snowy as the kids called him). Aunt Sharon gave the kids a snowman kit and some snowball makers that we put to use. Aerin finally got her wish for a big snow last week. On Tuesday it literally snowed all day. We were a little worried that it wasn't going to stop! After all was said and done, we woke up to about 6-8" of powdery snow on the ground. The kids were a little disappointed that it would not pack very well into a snowman but we did find other ways of enjoying the snow. We made snow cones (not the yellow kind, thanks Ellie). Sledding was Aerin's favorite. Making snow angels is what Jack liked to do. Jack had a hard time walking in the snow because it was so deep. Ellie just about about got lost in it. A week later it is almost all still on the ground. I think today was the first day in weeks that we have made it to 32 degrees as a high. That is pretty abnormal for this area. And lucky us, it looks like we might get more snow and ice tonight and tomorrow. Oh well, the kids are still enjoying it. Check out some pictures of our snow fun here. There are two pages of snow pictures so be sure to click on page 2. I also included the pitures of Mr. Snowy from our first snow back in January.
