Salt & Snow

We've had 2 snow days in a row- making this a long weekend. I picked up a few new things at the dollar store before the snow started on Wednesday night, but we've also found some other things to do. Who needs toys when we have salt & snow?

I was on the phone when I saw Will climb up on a kitchen chair out of the corner of my eye. I then heard him call out "ball!" I heard a loud bang and I turned around to see that he had thrown our salt shaker which does indeed look like a ball! Well, you can bet that salt was everywhere and Will and I just stood there in silence for a minute. I decided to get off the phone, take a deep breath and roll with the flow. He had a BLAST!







"Hey, Will, are you having fun?"





Dave also brought some of the snow inside for us to play with since going out in the cold is just not an option for us :)
