Staying Put!
It seems to be the thing to do. It's the second day that our family has spent cooped up in the house. It's nice to have down time together, but we are starting to get a little stir crazy. Tomorrow we'll plan on driving over to my mom's mid-day so that I have a better chance of getting to work. I was involved in a snow-car accident when I was younger, and ever since then I've hated the thought of driving in the snow.
Charlie, Valerie, and Ethan spent about an hour outside playing in the snow, until they were all too cold ( I think Valerie lasted the longest). Valerie worked on her snow hut while Ethan, Charlie, and i had a snowball fight. Charlie loved the sound the snow made under her feet. Crunch, crunch went the snow! Of course she also loved enticing the next door neighbor doggies to start barking. Her favorite sound of all is, "woof, woof." She says it too cute.
After dinner we all relaxed at the table and played a long game of Masterpiece. We haven't played this game in years, but it was fun to watch the kids get excited about different pieces of art, and making money at the same time. The hottest piece of art was called "St George Killing The Dragon." I believe it ended up in all our hands at one point, but Valerie carried it to the bank to the tune of 14 million dollars. If Valerie only knew that the painting in fact depicted St George as a knight, saving a town, and a fair princess from the terror of a dragon, maybe she would have given it up long before it was worth that much money! Princess', and knights in shining armor that save them, are much to girlie for my eldest.
Well the baby is screaming, since we let her take a nap prior to bed she has no interest in going to night night. Better go!

How come Ethan is never prepared for the cold? Bad Mom!
