Snow Day... Round 4

Hey, guess what?
It snowed here... again!

In the last two weeks we've had 4 (FOUR) Snow Days
which means that we now have 
A LOT of SNOW
and January isn't even over yet
(THAT scares me!)
 I think Teddy might be the most put out by all this white stuff
since it does create a bit of a problem for his trips outside
 but it doesn't really stop him
'cause he's persistent
 For this storm we decided to call in the National Guard
(okay... Logan)
 because he's quite good at shoveling off that front porch
 and Collin is incredible at running the snowblower -- WITHOUT gloves
(see how tough this has made us?!)
 Dana wasn't messing around with the wimpy path clearing the boys did last time
Oh, look!  
Here's Collin giving Logan...
 an EARFUL
but we're all still smiling
 and enjoying the view out our front door
AND getting quite used to these surprise vacations in the middle of every week!
What will we ever do when (or if) Spring finally arrives?

"Awesome Sauce"

I just had to share this video Collin put together for his History of Rock and Roll Class.

It's kind of long (5 min.) but TOTALLY worth watching
(and I'm not even kidding about that -- it's HILARIOUS!!)


Sometimes it's the quiet ones who surprise you the most...
don't you think?

SNOW Day!

Winter arrived in Massachusetts today
which means we all spent the day at home.
 Collin went to work clearing off the deck
and then making trails for Teddy
(who was especially in need of a "rest stop")
 and a way to run through the woods
(his favorite activity)
 Logan worked on clearing the front porch
mostly without a shovel (?)
and then did some jumping off the deck
and Dana took care of everything else
 without his Big Green Tractor
(he used his mini red one instead)
 Teddy just tried hard to keep from drowning in the snow
but mostly he LOVED it!
Snow Days are great in the middle of January
(but not nearly so great when we're making them up in June)
