Snow Days











The east coast was hit with two record breaking storms in a row over the last 8 days, one on February 5th, then another on the 9th. We got about 30 total inches of snow at our house - which trapped us indoors over the weekend and for most of the work week. Elliot loved spending 24/7 with with Mommy and Daddy, and we worked hard to keep him entertained. We made forts, felt snow men, real snow men, homemade play dough, valentines for Mimsey and Grammy (in the mail late due to the snow), cookies with daddy, a puppy hat, many Lego towers, a book about snow, and played Super Man (with a dish towel for a cape). We also watched a couple of movies including Up, The Muppets in Oz, and Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs.

Hopefully we have seen the last of the snow storms. It may be a while though before this all melts. On the way to daycare yesterday Elliot said to me, "I no like yucky brown snow." Unfortunately with all the cars here I think we'll be seeing yucky snow for a while. At least the stuff in the back yard is pretty.
