Same snow, different day

With snow like this, pajamas and snow suits are the only clothes these children will ever need.

No school!  Let's wake up extra early!
(ps: No school tomorrow.  More snow suit and pj pics coming soon [forever])

Don't worry, it's still there 

Five minutes of fort fun 

Flying saucers 

Frosty!

Kira enjoyed the snow a little more today.  She liked sliding down some of the smaller snow piles by our front door.  Her favorite part of going out in the snow is surprisingly the getting dressed part.  She is so comfy just sitting by the door in her puffy attire.

"Mini-Max"
Max begged for a snowman of his own, but showed very little interest in doing any of the heavy lifting/snow ball making.

Max's favorite household task is still putting a clean bag in the garbage pail.  Today he had an audience, Cecelia, so he hopped in the pail and sang..."I'm a piece of garbage!"

Prisoners of snow

It finally stopped snowing!

It's all fun and games until the clean up begins...

Good thing Iron Man is around to help with the shoveling

Kira stayed inside during our first venture outdoors this morning

Max did not even pretend to help shovel. He was all about the snow sports.  "I'm a sled!!!"  he screamed ans he flung himself down gargantuan snow drifts.

Looking for something warmer to do


About 1,000 hours after Max and Kira woke up, the rest of the neighborhood was awake 

Desperate times call for afternoon baths to pass the time 

Igloo on Ansdel 

A women's work is never done- Ceci and Claire hauled Max and Timmy around to find a big hill to sled down.

Mission accomplished!  We found a great hill and two saucer sleds.
