Another day, another snow day

Would trashing this "snow day" magnet help speed along the snow clearing process?

There is a tiny bit of snow left on the deck. 

It was actually quite warm today, so pjs it is.

Kira ventured out this morning to the doctor (she has an ear infection), but she had a good view of Max's shanigence from inside.

Kira's favorite doll is her favorite teething/tackle device as well.

Apparently she likes lettuce (she ate mommy's salad and than her own bowl)...

...and yogurt 

 ...but she loves her doll!

She was feeling so much better tonight...

...and she could not be happier to go to sleep.  The flash/picture taking does not even deter her from falling asleep because she is just so happy to get tucked into her crib.  

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.

Snowed in

We are literally swimming in snow.

We have not measured how much snow is actually out there, but it is higher than Kira, lower than Max, and definitely more than anyone should ever have to shovel.

Kira stood on her own for a few seconds today.  All of this time inside has provided plenty of time for some intense walking lessons.

Round two: Try to wear Max out before bed 

A little bit of homeschooling since we may be trapped inside forever

Hello, snow

It seems like this blizzard has been in the news forever, but now that it is finally underway, it can hurry up and end [AND MELT!].

Max needs a coat like we need a blizzard.  Not at all!

Snow is made for scooting, and that's just what she'll do!

Max-ie

Get me back out there!

Max v. Kira and daddy

Snowsuit only 

Pre-snow day breakfast 

Blizzard prep

This is how Max and Kira feel about the impending blizzard...

They just cannot wait to be home for days...

Kira looks so grown up sitting at the piano!

She lights up when she gets the Mickey light to light up! 

Everyone was so happy that daddy was home after school!

Max was hard at work drawing Ninja Turtles at school this afternoon 

Mutant Ninja Max

Max begged for a ninja turtle mask after school today.  Luckily we had some green felt on hand to wrap around his ninja face.  He worked hard to fight off all of the "bad guys" around Kira.

When is Max going to stop obsessing over his mask?

This is how Max feels after school
