Welcome to Siberia

You are in luck! The camera was taking blurry pictures because it thought it was zooming, when it was not. I managed to press enough buttons to make it stop, and I hope it continues to take proper pictures. I made up for lost time with pictures today.

Delaney started off getting ready to go outside. Somehow it entailed removing all of her clothes. Then she got distracted.

This is what Callie wants to spend all day doing. Yes, all day. She spends all day asking "Can I hod Rylee? Can I hold Rylee?". It gets very old very fast. She does do a good job holding her sister, when she's not trying to do things she shouldn't be doing with her.

This is the face I have seen waaaay to much of from Callie. This is her being mad because I said No, you cannot hold Rylee right now. (She's wearing her dress from our at-home church service today!)

This is my little kitty-kitty Marian, crawling through the snow. She cracks me up! She crawled and played all over the yard. Somehow she manages to stay on top of the snow, and when I step on it, I sink past my knees.

Perched on her mound of snow. She had a good time outside today. However, she could not figure out how come her pockets were filled with snow when she came inside!

This is my snow igloo! We piled snow nice and high in this mound, then dug out the center. Joshua is helping to remove the snow inside.

This is how snowed in the van is. It made me really glad I had pulled up so far! Look how high that is! Good thing we do not have to go anywhere for a while.

Callie and my Igloo.

Delaney did finally make it out the door, fully dressed for the snow. Well, kind of...... she is wearing Marian's spare boots, and Rylee's hat!

Callie wasn't sure if she wanted to throw this or eat it. She didn't stay out too long, but she had fun.

And we're suppose to get some more snow on Tuesday. I think I am about snowed out. This stuff was either powdery or solid ice. Not a good building meduim, and it would be too much work to build snowmen with it. So I played to my heart's content today and the kids did too. Then I came in and I made delicious Corn Chowder (Thanks Ian for the recipe!) and we had warm tummies tonight.
