This is great. D's friend Billy Bob (he told me he wants that to be his name on here, he actually had three names but I don't remember the third) came over for a couple of hours last night and the boys went outside! My family really needs winter. Snow sucked D right out the door, the boys dug a hole in the pile the snow plow left, worked on the igloo D is building, climbed a snow-laden, icy tree (that one isn't my favorite), and just spent time outdoors being BOYS.
I keep going outside myself "just for a walk", I LOVE SNOW and COLD WEATHER. Driving in snow is a different matter altogether, that I don't like at all. But if that has to be part of it, I'll deal.
Really, there's all this building material all over the ground just waiting to play with. I can shape a mountain lion, so what if it's recognizable only to me? I can build a snowman, a little scene, a fort, an igloo, anything I can think of! We've made paths to play tag, we eat it, throw it, it's so much fun. It would be funny to build a scene out of Calvin and Hobbes but that so far has been too ambitious for us!
Anyone done that before? Built a Calvin and Hobbes scene?
