Slush puppies

Evy and I went down to Port Hope yesterday for some awesome thrift store shopping (found a Royal Copenhagen teacup for $0.10 - woot woot). We stayed for lunch and couldn't help but notice there were only 4 snowflakes in all of Cobourg/Port Hope. Ridiculous! SO, we invited the crazy crew up to the North Pole (aka Millbrook) for some sledding snowman fun today!

The tobogganing was hard-going due to deep snow on the hill and Sam's innate fear of all things fun, but, shovelling was deemed to be safe enough and SUPER entertaining!

We sang the 'dig dig dig' Snow White song as musical accompaniment

Also popular was snowman building. We made two, but I have decided to line the whole driveway with them. Kind of like a slightly sinister snowy welcome party. Evy and Sam helped make this dude:

(and mischievious) with Snowy's pipe

And then the highlight of the outdoor adventures had to be when Auntie Peepee gave rides in the snow scoop. Burning 75,000 calories but providing serious JOY.

Wheee!

Faster, mommy!

Getting dumped out (and loving it!)

Time for a frosty cuddle

And now Sam's home with a fever of 103 (too much fun?) and we're hoping Evy's not coming down with round two of flu after kinda barfing (on Lee's face no less) at lunch.

Ahhhh, don't you just love winter? Equal parts fun and virus.
