If it sleets, make an igloo! (1/12/09)

We’ve had a lot of snow this year, starting earlier than usual. I love snow and the kids are old enough to really enjoy it. One of the storms dumped annoying sleet at the end of a good amount of snow. We don’t like that sort of thing normally, but we decided to make lemonade out of lemons. The kids walked around crunching the hardened top layer into one inch thick pieces. On one side of the driveway the girl and I stacked the pieces quite easily into an igloo shape. She then requested a candle but since it was the middle of the day I figured we would wait until it was dark to light a candle. It snowed again before I had a chance to snap a picture!
