Yet Another Snow Day
The snow day train just keeps rolling! It’s nasty out there. This round of snow arrived so hard and fast, that everyone who waited to leave work until the snow actually started yesterday got stuck in traffic for hours. The resulting snarls backed up major roads for 5 hours or more, and emergency vehicles even had trouble getting to all the beached cars and accidents. Photos of the traffic jam and even a car fire on Glenwood Avenue (not that far from where we live!) even made the...
Read MoreConnect Four!
Brian is really, really into Connect Four right now. He plays it with his friends at Laurel Hills after school, and he is serious about it–he plays to win! We got the iPad app, but also had to run out and pick up our own set at Target.

Then, they were off to Marbles, where Brian got to do...

The kids enjoyed having the morning at home, without having to rush off to school–getting to play Duplos in your pajamas is always special! After awhile, we did need to get them ready for the day, and I put them back in their Christmas tees (slightly better luck on a...
Read MoreHockey Check-In
Another hockey night for the boys! This season, Brandon has been regularly taking photos like this and checking in on FourSquare–maybe he’ll win something or get a discount? In any case, I get cute photos of my guys. 😉 ...
