Snow Day

Benny was whining and pulled a drawer out as I was writing a check and it slammed into my hip. I said "Ben, stop it." He walked away crying. Hillary asked him what is wrong. He said "Mommy told me to stop it." She replied "that's mean. Just ignore her, Ben." Then they started playing happily. Is this a win or a lose- bc it's sort of feeling like a win.

Ben wanted toast yesterday. Of course he ended up not eating it but I have a ton of trouble remembering toast is... Toasting. 

Benny peacefully drawing on Jack's drawing board. 

Just can't get over this pic. I generally don't like character themed clothes but his spider man hat had me at hello. 

Fine dining. Man and cheese out of Tupperware. Because ya know. They walk away when done and the dogs start dragging dishes off the table. Highly civilized. 

Father son reading time while I got the job of going back out into the snow for 15 minutes of promised sledding. 

Em was building an igloo w her buddies, which gave us a nice distraction from sledding. 

Bath time. The fun part.

The less fun part. They refuse to walk bc they are so cold. I let them hibernate in towels til they get up/crawl out to get jammies on. I know now to bring my book. 

Lou was devastated Hannie got a walk. But she is old and arthritic.

Jim took this pic this morning.
