We woke up recently to find several inches of snow on the ground. By late morning I could hold off the girls no longer and we went out and built an adorable little snowman. Satisfied with our work, we quickly went inside to get our camera. We returned just a minute later, but it was long enough for our slushy snowman to topple over. We lamented his fate then, quite happily, sang "Once There Was a Snowman."
Lauren had insisted on wearing her crocs in the snow, and I had eventually decided to let her, trusting that she would complain at some point before frostbite set it and hopefully learn a lesson. After playing outside for 20 minutes or so (with no complaints) I brought the girls inside and made them some warm soup. After a few minutes, I asked, "Well, is everyone warm and cozy now?" to which Ella replied, "I am!" Then Lauren, in her typical low voice, said, "I'm not wahm. I had ice in my shoes."
