Upon Josiah's request, we set out the deer that he had asked for on his 3rd birthday, yes the lawn ornaments that we affectionately know as "Teek" and "Tank". Michael had to develop a way to rig up the lights as we have no outdoor outlets, but he was up to the task. 
Then, the snow came and so did the play outside. Papa helped build a home for Elise and a bomb shelter for Josiah.
Luckily for Josiah the walls were firm, because Papa didn't hold any of his throwing force back! The dugout wasn't fail proof though! 
Josiah took a few in the noggin like this one! But he survived and was out for more.
This war ended peacefully.
Elise wanted to modify her 'home' and then invited Mimi in for a tea party! Girls are so different than boys! 
Lastly, Michael and Biscuit share a good wrestle in the snow. This is truly Man's Best Friend. :)
Two days later is rained some more resulting in the over-use of rain boots this year, but we are thankful for the brief time in the snow. Hopefully we will have a little more snow in these next few months, we have to take out our Tube-boggin for its maiden run of the year! Love to you all.
