House Under Ice

Well, I'm sure this is too many pictures. Sorry, again, dial-up friends. I always feel I shouldn't leave any of the kids out. But that always adds up to too too many pictures. Especially when Buzz is so cute. Only there's no good Noodle shot today, because she was eating snow in all of them. Which isn't that horrible itself (toxicity of snow notwithstanding) but they just weren't action shots. She did a lot of action, I just didn't manage to get them in the shots.

ANYway, this is also 'old news' from Monday, was it? When the snow first hit. It just took me this long to get them up. But since you haven't seen them, they're not THAT old news.

Since this has been an unusually snow-free winter, so far, I granted a snow holiday from school on Monday. We were good and did school the rest of the week.

The children with a neighbor shoveled a big heap in front of the swing set, and then would leap from the swing onto the heap. The best crashing into the heap pic I have wasn't my child, so I figured I better not blog it. It's HARD to hit just the right moment to capture the impact and snow flying.

But here's some about-to-hit pix:

Tobi-Wan was cold and miserable when his mittens got wet. Don't you pity him? You're supposed to, it's his best "pity me" face.

But he's not always so pitiful.

LittleD liked being out in the snow. Very much, thank you.

Buzz was another story. At first he did not want to go out. At all.

Until he saw us all out there. And decided to get himself ready.

And then had a lot of fun playing snow-bat-smack:

And, since poor Eminoodle was left out of the other pix, here she is, modeling the scarf-mit set we made, which we were able to give to Moogie, and I think, I hope, Moogie will enjoy it much:

I took this leaf picture hoping to be as cool as my sister's snowflake pix on Flickr (Kelly, may I link to them?) but it's just not cool.
