Anywhooooo....

K, can we just pretend like no time has elapsed and I don't suck at blogging? We can? Great! Phew. I was afraid you'd be mad.

So since we are all on the same page here- agreeing that I can just pick up the blog at "now" and back-blog when our life is usually boring- then I will show you what we are doing here.

I suppose I just needed three snow-days to get back to blogging. (Oh, thaaat's all? riiiiight.)

So we are experiencing unprecedented snow and cold here in OKC. Kids have been home three days and counting. All four of us. Here. Oh, you think I mean "five"? Nope. Shawn is in Florida. I won't say it a again. Smart of those boys to plan a trip to the Sunshine State and leave their families trapped under snow and ice. Awesome idea, really. No, seriously, it's not been bad hanging out with the kids scattering toys everywhere, constantly asking for food, begging to go outside...in fact here comes S asking me to open a granola bar. And here comes H crying and N tackling him as he cries more. Awesome.

Ok. Surrender. Here's the pics:
Looked at this.

Scooped this.

Shoveled this.

Van trapped in garage by this (ice).

N and S proving that it is ice.


Kids played outside for hours. N and neighbor boy built this tunnel/fort.
