Snow - Day 2 - No School

My kids decided that they wanted to make a snow house, fort, igloo or something like that. So they were trying to form a pile of snow into a house. Then Dad came up with a great idea...let's use Mom's bread pans!
They decided that was a much easier way to build - with snow bricks.



They did have to rebuild a few times, because Benjamin thought it was just as much fun to kick the wall down as it was to build it (must be a boy thing?)
Unfortunately it started raining before they finished it, but they had fun while it lasted.

What a good mom! Sacrificing your bread pans to snow forts! You go girl!

Did little Benjamin get yelled at by his big sisters for kicking down the igloo? Oooh...Corbin gets in so much trouble for pulling something like that!

I love the snow brick idea! Looks like you were all having a blast! and yes, it must be a "boy" thing. Poor Brooklyn can't build anything without two boys knocking it down! Poor kid.
