New Game!

Let's play the 'Who has the craziest husband?' game. I submit that my husband is currently grilling wings...in the snow...it's FREEEEEEEEZING! Do I have a ruling?
My Crazy Hubby!

**post grilling note: Jay wanted me to add that the wings were good. He says that makes it all worth it. I think that makes me worried about his sanity.**
***Now he wants to go to the store. Not because we need something...he just wants to go out in the Explorer!***

'How Much Snow do You Have?' Game

I just read Erin's response to my comment about her snow entry. So now we are going to play the 'How much snow do you have?' game! It looks like I'm winning;-) To be fair we didn't shovel our driveway from the last snow. The street had been plowed though.

Christening the New Sled

Zach is out christening his new sled. It's the first snow since he got it on Christmas. Here is a picture of his first ride on his very own sled. Uncle TJ really knows how to pick a fun gift! He is out playing with the neighbors in their yard now. They have a bigger hill. I can see them from the window. They seem to be having a lot of fun.
Speaking of Uncle TJ the great gift giver;-) He just called this afternoon. I talked to him for quite a while until his time ran out. He seems well. As for me- I am just praying for his safe and speedy return. It shouldn't be long now!

'Snow Wonder

It's no wonder parents complain about snow. No matter what it gets in the way of your schedule. What I am baffled by is the fact that our schools didn't get out early yesterday when it was actually snowing, but they opened 2 hours late this morning. The streets are all plowed and there hasn't been any snow since yesterday afternoon. Yesterday when the busses came there was an inch and a half of snow on all the back streets. Maybe the reason for the 'caution' this morning is the fact that one of the school buses was in an accident yesterday because of the snow. What are you supposed to do with a 2 hour delay anyway?! You can't let them go outside and play because then they will have to change before school or just be soaked. Zach about drove me crazy asking every 5 minutes if he could put his lunch in his back pack. I finally stopped explaining why not and just said no.
The boys ended up playing together for much of the morning. They especially liked chasing each other around making lots of noise. I was almost relieved when Zach asked to watch TV. If you know me you know this is not like me at all, but I was getting a little tired of all the noise. So Zach watched some TV while Ryan and I went down to the basement to do some laundry.
I told you Ryan has been stacking everything and anything. He discovered an economy size pack of paper towels...I think you know what happened next. I also threw in a bonus picture of him building with his Pop Onz this morning.

Snow!

I took Ryan out to experience the first snow of the season. Last time it snowed he was 4 months old and didn't really regard the snow much. This time he thought it was more interesting. He walked around and touched some with his little mitten. Unfortunately when he is all bundled up in snow pants and a coat he can't bend at the waist very well. I think he would have continued to have fun, but mommy got COLD, so we came in. Maybe when daddy gets home from work he will be better at staying outside in the cold so Ryan can play in the snow longer.
Snow, snow, snow

Here is some video of our snowy experience:-)
