Snow day

Yesterday we had the AnthonyCarlos gang, as well as Jacob's future wife Molly, over for a playdate. Isaac found a new teddy bear, AnthonyCarlos's baby sister, Anna.


After we stuffed everyone with pancakes, the snowfall had accumulated enough that we were required to play outside.





The previous day the fellers insisted we stay outside long past the point of kiester freezing, so I came up with the brilliant idea of a chilly walk around the block in the wagon. I insulated the fellers with a fleece blanket stolen from George the Green Car, but gave my own hands a near case of frostbite because I am a ditz and left my own gloves inside. Well, snow be darned, said we, and I set my mind on a repeat wagon trip. When Jakey got too snow-encrusted for us to play any longer, we plowed the sidewalks around the block with our trusty wagon. We had to stop every 50 feet to dislodge the snow from the wheels so they would turn, but it was worth it. We felt like adventurers in a winter wonderland. And Jacob fell asleep. You've heard of Brokeback Mountain? I give you... Brokeneck Wagon.

Isaac's face is looking so "little boy" these days. And Jacob the giant baby looks like a full fledged toddler. When did they all get so big?
