An Update on March

I'll start out this post with some photos to make you laugh. Evelyn and Ethan dressed as Dora, dancing do her 'dance party adventure'. They are making a silly face to make the grumpy old troll happy again. They also had to shake their maracas, wiggle their hips, do a pirate dance etc... It's good entertainment for a cold day.




Next up is a photo of Ethan in his most recent of bizarre sleeping places. He fell deeply asleep on top of the heating vent in the bathroom. I think he's starting to enter that phase where shadows and other things become very scary. He seems to seek out places in full light to settle in for the night. Just so you know, we moved him back to bed after taking this photo :-)













Some final photos from the winter of 2010. Overall, we had much less snow fall than the past few years. The temps were milder too. Only one prolonged cold spell, and the rest of the winter was around -10 to -18. Not too bad!

Now, one of these kids is wearing their mittens, the other is not. Which one do you think will be melting into tears the next time they fall into the snow?



If you guessed Ethan, you're right! Yes, son, the snow IS cold. That's why I told you to wear your mittens!

Evelyn, responsibly wearing her mittens, had a blast being buried in the snow. I had hoped we could try making a fort or a snowman, but the snow was more like white sugar. It felt like free-flowing tiny ice crystals. No forts or snowmen with that snow!
