The Big Snow

On MLK Day, we had a huge storm. Luckily, no one had to work, so we didn't have to brave the roads until later in the afternoon. Our cul-de-sac didn't get plowed until after our poor little Mazda got stuck in the 15 inches of snow. Annie's snow angel-the snow was a little to fluffy for making much--even snow angels.
Can you believe how big this kid is getting? He looks like a toddler! Where is my baby? I know I am prejudiced, but I think this face is the cutest ever!!

Thys is the greatest kid. I hadn't put the snow clothes away, and for the next two days, he wanted to wear his hat all evening. He brought it to us and handed it to us for us to put on him. I think he was not-so-secretly hoping to get outside again, but it didn't happen for the poor kid. He even ate dinner in the hat one night.

What Happens When You Turn Your Back

Whenever Anna has a stamp, she puts them all over herself. I thought I had taught her otherwise, but I was sorely mistaken. I was on the phone and doing dishes, and Annie not only took the stamp to herself, but also Thys. If you look closely, you will see she was very thorough.

(You may have to click the picture to get the good detail--the cheeks, the nose, the forehead. . .)

I think Thys is crying because the popsicle was gone--or that I kept taking pictures--not that his entire body, including the bottom and tops of his feet, was covered in Sinter Klaas's horse stamps.
