Snow Day and Cuz

Cousin D came to visit.  He was a huge hit.  Everyone loves him.  Seraph watched through the window as he made a snow bunny then a snow turtle.

 Angel helped - she decided the bunny didn't really want to be left on the porch so she scooped him up and threw him down on the ground.  Bunnies prefer to be on the ground.

 Finch handed me snowballs (I was inside with Seraph) so I could throw snowballs at D and Beautiful Rabbit (not to be confused with snowy rabbit).

 Beautiful Rabbit needs to work on her aim :p  She threw very gentle (and barely packed) snowballs at Seraph's window (before we opened it).  Seraph LOVED watching the snow splat right in front of her face. Giggles all around.

 Ok, I need to get Seraph some boots.

 Cousin D fixed snowy bunny...and then gave him a safe little hideout - safe from Angel and bunnies would rather be on the snow than the cement anyway....

 Snowy Bunny's new house.

It's supposed to snow more tomorrow....and I haven't taken pictures of the snow turtle yet.  He's HUGE!  This was way funner than snowmen.  Thanks Cousin D!!

My kids all took LONG naps after he left - can't wait for him to visit again :)...tehehe

The Day After...

Sexy Haqon drove off this morning for his one-day-work-week.

Beautiful Rabbit is playing Oregon Trail on the computer. Angel is sleeping.

Bear, Finch, and I just spent a few hours playing in the snow. We shoveled from our front door to our neighbor's front door and their neighbor's front door. It made a nice little maze for the kids to play in. Then we had a snowball fight:
Bear: haha - I got you, Mom!
Mom: Aaaaaahhh!
Bear: Do you wanna throw a snow ball, Mom?
Mom: Ya! I'm gonna throw a snow ball at Finch!
Bear: No!! [Bear ran in front of Finch and blocked her with his body. Then he waved his arms all around to make an extra "shield" for her.]
Mom: Are you protecting your sister?
Bear: Ya! You can't get her!

Seraph's right lung already looked a lot better on this morning's x-ray. They're going to give her a spontaneous breathing trial later today.
