Family of Frosties

We LOVE Saturdays at our house. Love, love, love them! Because we are still a one-car family (going on four years) weekday mornings tend to be sort of a drag. A hurried husband wanting to get to work at a decent time, hungry kids that need to be fed, and a wife that is dreading dragging the family out into the single digit temps to drive daddy (the very short distance thankfully) to work. It just isn't the best part of any one's day.

But Saturdays... ahhh... the day where we get to enjoy the morning, cook an enjoyable breakfast together (oven berry pancakes this morning - thanks Maria!), work together (installed electricity to our basement today), and then play play play.


Today's play menu:

Ring around the rosies (helps Ainsley get into the "playing" mood)

Duck, Duck, Goose

Build snowman in the backyard (apparently followed by eat snowman in backyard)



Build snow family in the front yard (thanks to the balmy 30 degrees we can stay out for more than 5 minutes)







And this is only the morning. Have I mentioned that we LOVE Saturdays

What a fun day. We got our first real taste of snow this afternoon and the neighborhood is already filled with little sledders. I LOVE the snow family!!

So. Fun. We did a similar thing today, only our snow creation was a fort. It took all . . . day . . . long. That's what was so great about. A day full of blissful memories. Ahhhhhhh.

Hey, can you send us your new phone #? David has been wanting to talk to Marcus but he lost your digits (we have new phones). You can send it to our email address: wilkinson_fam@yahoo.com

BTW - when are you guys coming back to UT for a visit?

My kids still want to play in the snow; making snowmen, snow angels, white washing - wait that's not fun! Glad you are enjoying each other and appreciating Saturdays. They become even more valuable when the little people go to school:( Are you guys going to be in Utah at all during the holidays? Thanks again for the pictures!!!
