Last weekend was a little different than the one before it.
My husband thought that the snowy Saturday was a perfect time to go get some logs.
It did make for a pretty backdrop.
My adventure loving boys enjoyed the obstacle course.
This boy insists on covering his face when it is cold.
Something about keeping warm.
Crazy.
Doesn’t he understand I need pictures of his cute face?
At least my oldest understands.
Of course there was sledding when we got home!
What do you like to do when it snows?
These pics make me laugh since it is currently raining, and they are calling for freezing rain and snow.
But a few weeks ago we had very warm weather and my husband started building me an Adirondack loveseat!
If you follow me on Instagram then you have already seen a peak at it.
He is building it so that I have a place to sit while watching the boys play on the zipline and fort.
He found a local man that was selling lumber he had cut himself into slabs.
It is beautiful cedar.
While my husband was making all of this progress at the dry fit(he will take it all apart and glue it together after he is done making sure it all works), my boys were doing something a little less productive…
After they got good and dirty, they decided to try their hand at leaf carving.
I love it when they get really close to each other and doing something like this.
It is easier to take pictures of them when they are not running around like crazy.
I will miss dirty hands, faces, and knees, especially ones sticking out of torn jeans.
We had the most beautiful snow coming down Monday evening!
My boys dress for warmth instead of style…
Poor little snowman.
Soft flakes make for some yummy ice cream!
It is just Milk, Sugar, Vanilla, and Snow.
You should make some!
We hurried out the next morning to enjoy the snow before it melted!
I tried out a different angle for pics.
I sat at the top of the hill so the sun would act as a back light and next to a tree to frame the shots with branches.
You can see more of the clutter in our yard this way but I like backlit subjects.
I gave my camera to my oldest so I could get in a shot!
This goof had a hat on top of a jacket hood.
He said it was warmer that way.
