Snow pics

Snow!
The "plow" that got stuck trying to plow my street. Um... a pick up truck in 3 feet of snow, never could've called that one.
The bigger plow they called to tow out the other plow.

The van still pretty much looks like this a week later. Except now it is just ice that LOOKS like snow. Dave and Jeanette, we hope to be able to visit you in April, but the van may still be frozen to our street.
The snow is up to Gavin's shoulders.
You can see the snow is up to Chloe's armpits.

The only place our kids could play was in the street. Luckily, no one could actually drive on our street.
The snow cave, a miserable failure. This is the one and only time we got the kids in it. Poor Dan. He was awfully excited about it.
We honestly could have lost our children in all this snow. (and some days we wanted to!)
Our snowman before the blizzard
Our snowman after. The snow comes up to his "belly button"!

Making valentines for daddy

The finished product
The top part of Chloe's literally reads "I L U D" which is, of course, I love you daddy. The bottom is her name with a backwards C and a backwards L. She's getting pretty good!
Gavin just colored. ;)

Some other shots


I can't remember if I've posted these...


This was a storm back in December. We didn't get any snow to speak of this week.

Thank you for the hats, Aunt Sarah!

Evan looking tough and Nick looking worried.

Close Ups


Nick is very close to crawling (still). He can now push himself to sitting, pull to standing, and will cruise along the furniture.

"Two-Toofers"- Dad's newest nick name.

"Show me your mean face!"

Love these eyelashes!

The Puppeteer


I really didn't think that puppets would be a genetic thing. For those of you that don't know, I actually put on puppet shows for the other elementary students at Macedon El.


Yes, Evan has a big ol' bruise on his head. He ran into the Wine Table.

The Boys' Rooms


Many hours of searching the Internet went in to finding these wall decals. I am very happy with them.



Nick's room, for now. I think we will go with a train theme for his room after his birthday.

Stuff


I am experimenting making fabric wall clings. Here is the M I made. This version is made with flannel fabric and then attached to contact paper. It is good for one or two repositions but then starts to become less sticky. I have ordered some vinyl that clings to the wall with no adhesive. Let me know if you want your kid's names.

Also - I see we have some followers that I don't recognize. I know one was an adult site spammer and I blocked them. Take a look and see if you recognize some of the odd ones. I also noticed we were getting some posting from spammers...grrrrr

Mini-van gone


And still snowing....

snow so far

Judging by the snow burying all of our cars and sitting on our shed.... we might have 2 feet already. Not sure if you can see the snow pouring down here, but it is supposed to do this all day. yikes.

Why am I a teacher?

Because this is a Tuesday.....

Random Stuff




First hat I have knitted. It is supposed to look like a beehive.

FYI

Snow day #8 today.....

Yeah, that's right.... EIGHT. This is not from the snow we had this weekend. We had a two-hour delay called last night for THAT snow. No, this is because they are calling for MORE snow starting at 10:00. And what is that I see on the forecast for Saturday? Oh yes.... snow.

Attention all you people we promised to visit this summer.... we may not be there, we may still be in school.

Off to play with my kids.
