Fun with snow

We got our first snow here last week (well, the first snow that actually stuck to the ground.) Samuel really wants to go play in it ("my play snow?" he keeps asking.) Unfortunately, the weather has been awful - it has just been raining and sleeting ever since. I think it has rained more in the 7 months we have lived here than it did the entire 5 years we lived in Colorado. I am missing the Colorado winters, where it might snow, but the sun would come out later that day, or the next day at the latest.

But, if you can't go out and play in the snow, you can at least take a snowball inside, right? (look closely, it's in Samuel's hand)

If all else fails, it makes a good snack:

We made a snowman craft the other day. I cut out all of the pieces and helped Samuel glue them together, and then he glued the cotton balls on by himself:
