So that snow storm came and it put a smile on a little boy's face!
That small person would be my Eli.
Good thing for me, I decided to put everything else aside, and go outside for some awesome bonding with my little guy. We went sledding to start out with, which worked out pretty good just right here by the house. I didn't even have to take him to the back of the property, he was that happy that his mom would come and play with him- Zero complaints. This is one time I can truly say I did exactly the right thing as a mom; those moments sometimes seem too few and far between, but I aced this one.
Joseph just happened to stop by the house on his way to the city (Mission KS organ instillation) when we started sledding, so he had to get in at least 1 run with Eli!
Eli really wanted to build a snow fort, so in between sledding runs we shoveled and piled snow until we made something that symbolized a snow fort. The temperature was perfect to be outside in the snow- sunny and 40's- it really doesn't get better than that. However, the snow was melting at a rapid pace as we were trying frantically to shovel and pile and assemble said fort.
It worked out to stop when we did- 2 1/2 hours later, because he really just wanted to sip hot cocoa, on his sled, in his fort!

So cute with the hot cocca. Sounds like a perfect day! Eli is so cute.
You did (and do!) get it right. You're awesome and it sounds like you had a great time together.
Linda! I love this post. I wasn't expecting that you guys were still getting snow but I'm glad you did! The fort is fabulous and brings back memories of having a back yard. I love that you had such a special moment with Eli. What I would give to have you guys close.
