First Snow of 2010

We got about 7 inches of snow this time around which is a lot for Winston-salem. The town shut down, no church, hardly any businesses open, and worst of all, no Domino's to eat Saturday night! Conveniently both snows we have gotten have been over Friday night into Saturday so we have nowhere to go anyway and we can play all day. We got lots done around the house being stuck here though! Maddox now doesn't like sledding. She cries when you put her in the sled. We did that yesterday when it was really cold, windy, and still snowing so maybe that had something to do with it. Then last night we made my Mom's recipe of snow ice cream which was really yummy! Tonight we're going to try Paula Deen's recipe and see who wins. Today Maddox and I built a snowman when it was warmer and sunny and she was a lot more interested in helping. She'd try to pick up snow with her mittened hand and pat it on the snowman. She also stuck her own extra limbs in in addition to the arms I put in. I found this on my camera today and just thought it was humorous. She was 13 months old here trying on some water wings before we went to Fl for spring break. Not quite ready . . . and still isn't today!
