So, this is the view from our back porch. There is a big berm between our property and the country road, which - wouldn't you know it - is the perfect place to go sledding. Master S has been bugging us about getting sleds and finding a good hill since it snowed Wednesday. And today he mentioned using cardboard to walk on the snow, and I thought, why don't we use it for sleds? We had a big box from the water softener and so we went to work, and this is the result...
The fold worked great to keep snow from getting on the sled and getting it stuck .
And there were LOTS of smiles as a result! What fun - in our own backyard and it cost nothing!!! Yeah! Master S even went back out for more in the afternoon. This is Miss Lilly making a snow angel - backwards.
Big D watched from inside. Little guy would have gotten lost in the snow - 12 inches makes it hard even for Miss Lilly to get around. Big D has recently been way into the phone. This is a pic of him trying to talk into it this afternoon.

Sounds like a great day in the snow. Cardboard is one of our favorite things to play with. It's so versatile.
WoW! what a yard! that is amazing!! Especially since we don't see them so much here :) Love your creativity - your kids - as usual :) love ya!
I am so jealous, and I will not show Pippi because she would cry. Cardboard rocks.
What an amazing yard you have! Big enough to sled - that is wonderful!
Your kids look like they are having the time of their lives!
Man you guys had fun snow! WE just get this nasty icy stuff that is no fun to play in! I am sooo glad they got to get out and play...my kids are suffering from cabin fever I think!
