Creating Wherever We Go

My kids have been creating like crazy so I thought I would spend the next few days bragging on them!

These pictures are from our trip to my Mum's a couple weeks ago.
This first picture is one T took of an abandoned building up the hill at Hedley mine.

While at my mum's the kids were delighted at how much snow was still outside. They especially loved the big snow pile next to my mum's where the snowplow had been pushing the snow all winter.
 The kids built a fort in the snow bank with three rooms. Here is N posing in it. For those of you wondering - yes, he did have his snowpants with them and wore them playing outside. He had come in dripping wet so went back out without his snowsuit for pictures as the roof was starting to collapse in places and they wanted to get pictures while they still could. Below is another picture of one of their passages.

My Kids Create

We had our first snow of the calendar year and the first one where it was good packing snow. My kids had a blast today, building a snowman and a snowfort. They even shovelled both our driveway and our neighbour's! They wrapped up the afternoon with a snowball fight with Daddy (Mummy has more sense).

I just had to share their create (but expensive) snowman with you! He has cinnamon hair, with a black pepper strip through it for the earmuff band, broccoli earmuffs, stick eyes, carrot nose and mouth, and vitamin drink for rosy cheeks. Gotta love their creativity even while cringing at the effect on my food budget! LOL

Here's the pictures:
