We had a few flurries finally, and the kids are over the moon!!
They went on, and on, about not wanting to wear snow pants for school, then they realised that at recess, the other kids in snow pants are sliding down a tiny little hill in the playground, and you can't do it without the snow pants. So now the snow pants have been recognised as the greatest invention ever - it's like sledging without the need for a sledge![Big Grin](https://britishexpats.com/forum/images/smilies/biggrin.gif)
The snow shoveling though, man, the neighbours must have enjoyed watching me do that. Our drive has big ridges in it and I would get on a roll moving the snow and then I would smash into one, I am hoping I get better at it![Wink](https://britishexpats.com/forum/images/smilies/wink.gif)
This is the the house we are renting, our street and the back yard before the kids got on the slides!

what isn't funny is a girl broke her leg..and a boy broke his collarbone..so now the school is thinking of changing to a sledding FREE zone!

Printer, you've got a lovely view!!
Maple Leaf, wow, my boys are 11 and 9 and my goodness I can understand what you are going through.
My 11 year old is very focused on how he is looking to the ladies right now
In fact we went in to meet with his teacher a few weeks back to check on his progress, because they did Spanish in Texas and he's not done French, and we were concerned about him catching up etc.
However, the teacher was keen to tell us the effect his presence was having on the girls in the class. Apparently there has been a playground scuffle as the girls have been tripping the boys when playing football, in some kind of effort to get his attention.
She said he was easy on the eye, but that she got the impression that he was beginning to realise that - God help me![OhMy](https://britishexpats.com/forum/images/smilies/ohmy.gif)
