Jacob says...

I'm going to teach the dog to pee and catch a ball at the same time. I can do that.

The arborvitae

2 hour delay

School is on a 2-hr delay this morning. I've never experienced a school delay. Of course, I've never experienced 8 inches of snow at the end of April either. Time to go rescue the arborvitae.

I was wrong

6-10 inches of snow later. OK, I admit, it is kindof pretty..... although it's April 19th. It's much prettier in December.

One last snow picture

The snow is almost melted - so here's one more pic from a few weeks ago (the last major snowfall). We finally got the block-maker to work well. Next year - igloo!

Bowling

Last weekend we took the kids bowling. They have interesting "form."



By the way - can I say how much I love the no smoking laws!

The fort

The fort we built today off the front porch. I think we got less than a foot of snow, but thank goodness for the snowblower!! It's not good pack-snow, but the wind created this 4 inch layer of crusty snow that we broke off and piled up. Jacob is almost standing straight up - since it's a step down from the porch.
