snow place like home

like most of the east coast, we received a ridiculous amount of snow over the weekend. it's hard to say how much exactly because of all the wind and drifting, but we think it's probably a foot and a half, maybe more. of course we had to take pickle out to get some pictures of her first snow storm. we also thought quentin would love playing in it. - we thought wrong. - he cried the whole time we were outside, screaming, "i stuck!" because he couldn't move. to be fair, the snow was up to his waist. caroline didn't seem to mind it, but we didn't want to keep her out in the cold for long. so it ended up that we spent more time getting the kids into their winter gear than we actually spent outside. oh well! -

this is quentin begging for cookies. we have taken the cabinet doors off some of the cabinets to begin the sanding-priming-painting process, leaving the cookies exposed. as a result, we are hearing, "cookie. wanna cookie. preeeeeez." more than usual.
