Do You Wanna Build a Snowman?

So today, Nat and Olivia came home so excited because of the snow.  Nat immediately asked to go sledding.  Olivia wanted to build a snowman.  They ran outside and the snow was perfect, wet and sticky.  they got that snowman up pretty fast, requested a carrot and looked for branches for the arms.  Livvy went to find some rocks and Nat was looking for a hat and scarf.  Then they just played.  I saw Olivia who had made a snow chair just sitting there in her chair with her head back feeling the snowflakes hit her face.  It makes me so happy to have kids playing outside and being kids.

  It especially means a lot to me because this kind of stuff is winding down.  With Natalie 12 and Olivia 9, I know it will go too fast. I like to appreciate these last childhood moments.  It's not like they can't grow up, but I still love to see the kid in them loving the fun things in life.
