Snow bound

            Well our weather seems to be changing, the snow is melting and things are tentatively starting to open again. Just in time for the weekend. Sigh. But it is good to know that we can ease out of our snow tunnels and back into regular. Yesterday we were starting to claw the walls a bit, but we managed. We made cookies.

We were out of chocolate chips and the only grocery store I could get to was the discount outlet. Of course they don't have normal chocolate chips, so I had to settle for chocolate kisses with carmel. Since we were going untraditional, I decided to go all out and started throwing in random things from the cupboards. Coconut! Coffee! Peanuts! Oatmeal!

I'm calling them our kitchen sink cookies, and they turned out rather well.

Thank goodness for neighbor friends. Every day this week, we visited Reuben or he visited us. I'm so glad we live close by and can visit each other even in extreme weather. The kids had an art show.

and today Unity's school is open for a few hours and Chris is working at work instead of in the basement and maybe Brixton and I will leave the house. Hallelujah.

Snow Day!

               We are still in the midst of a snow week, which has led to the slowing down and shutting down of almost everything. What do you do with two small kids on a snow day? Well.....

                           You put on a show with all your stuffies.

                                    You have a picnic.
                               

                                          You make new shoes for baby.        

                                                    
                                                   See her outfit?

                           You look in amazement at our busy street gone silent.

                                      You watch the snow out the window.

You write letters.

And today we get to start all over again. What shall we do to celebrate this snow day?
