Blizzard Warning

3/8/2008 This morning the boys looked outside and Nick said "I have to go out in da snow, Mommy." over, and over, and over again. So at about 8:30, we thought we'd go out back and play for a few minutes. We couldn't even make it out of the driveway.
Alex needed a lot of help just walking.
Nicholas, on the other hand, was running just so he would fall down repeatedly "just like the scarecrow." They both have little shovels that they love to play with in the snow.
Alex was still struggling to stay upright.
Nicholas was dragging his shovel over the snow saying "I have to dig, I have to dig."

David and I were trying to dig out the driveway - not sure why - there's another 8 hours worth of snow in the forecast and the wind is blowing pretty hard at times. Besides, even if we could get our cars out of the driveway, there is absolutely no way we'd be able to get down the street!

Alex is trying to help a little.
Nicholas really loves the snow - even though he lost his binka in a snow drift a minute later.
Nick likes to shovel the snow covered grass the best.

The wind started to pick up, so we decided it was time to go in.

We made cupcakes!

2/22/08 - I mixed the ingredients, and the boys filled the cupcakes with the batter. They had to be coaxed into filling more than just one paper. We had many empty wrappers and 2 overflowing cupcakes. We watched the cupckaes bake and then decorated them.
I asked them what they wanted on the cupcakes and they simultaneously shouted "Marshmallows and sprinkles" and then started chanting it! Cupcakes and marshmallows???? I had to talk them into icing.
Cleaning up at the sink was an ear-piercing experience.
I can't remember what they asked for, but I had to tell them "No" for some reason, and here are their reactions. They are both very angry - stark contrast from the previous picture.
Alex is so mad that he has to leave.

Chik-Fil-A is almost as fun as Chuck E Cheese

2/16/08 The boys have a blast a Chik-Fil-A . . . And it is much less expensive than Chuck E Cheese . . . And they give you free coffee until 10:30 am.
They can't climb very high on this contraption, yet, but they keep trying.
They also love the tree house and the mirrors.
2/13/08 I finished a little bunny for some one's new baby, but Alex grabbed it and wouldn't stop kissing it! I had to start on something completely different for the baby.
He really loves this bunny.
