Serious Snow Today

We are getting socked in today.  The boys just asked if they could come in from their outside time early, and they were well bundled up.  After they clear the steps off, I’ll let them in.  M had no outside time yesterday, and kept running into furniture and getting bruises as he bounce around the house – today he can be good and tired before nap time, maybe walking in a straight line will be easier if he’s had to actually run a little first?

I think my camera is at my Mom’s house: just imagine a fog so thick I can’t see more than one block out the kitchen windows, and swirling snow.

B just told me that he’s finished one set of stairs.  I’m going to have cocoa waiting for them when they come in. 

My Mom in law bought B the "Man a can a plan" cookbook last year.  The liquid bliss hot chocolate recipe is great.  Some of the jokes in the cookbook are not appropriate for children (or adults really) though.  Adding some vanilla extract and almond extract to the cocoa really makes it (hershey’s syrup and milk)
