Snow day!

Reports say 18-24"  Not sure how much we actually are getting, but it's still going, and on top of the substantial layer that was already on the ground...LOTS of snow :)  Very fun, Owen is having a grand time.  Asher didn't want much of it once he got outside, but was more than happy to sit on the dirty front door mat just inside and eat clumps of snow and ice that got tracked in on our boots.  Eeuw, I know.  Sometimes a happy baby is the goal, eat what he may!!  The driveway is now about the same height as our front porch...two big stairs up to our landing.  Owen loves shoveling...Reuel's snowblowing, too...the more the merrier!

Lego airplane fun

A very bad error in calculation on my part.  Thought to self:  Aw, let them play with the packing peanuts in the box a little, followed by taking myself to the restroom.  Discovery on return:  box completely upended, peanuts crunched underfoot, in severely dry static-electricity-inducing ambient environment....the 1st floor of the house becomes a snow globe and I am still picking pieces of styrofoam off of walls and furniture.  Yikes.  Well, they did have fun.

Snow outside and snow inside! Creative boys while mom is having a deserved rest - which a little while later was all cancelled by having to restore the inside. Mothers deserve medals!

Reminds me of when I left Noah unattended for a short while with some styrofoam blocks. When I returned, I found hundreds of tiny balls of the stuff all over the place and all over him, including in his ears, where he had stuck a few of them. I think I might take packing peanuts over tiny styrofoam balls....

And that snow is beautiful but really intense!
