Snowed In

Last night, J and I snuggled in under the big quilt and watched an episode of Lark Rise to Candleford.  (We've been watching old episodes from the library and are unashamed to admit that we love it, and can't wait for the next disc to arrive. )  The whole while the snow whipped against the windowpanes.  It actually was a bit frightening how windy it was.  The snow was coming down so hard that you could barely see the houses across the street!  And today we awoke to this....

 I love how snow tells its story of where its been and of the wind that shaped it....

 Snowed in!

 All the windows had the wind's artwork....

 I love being snowed in.  So long as J is with us.  I feel like snow days are especially for homeschooling mothers....days where God smiles on us and says....Here child, have your love home with you today.

The boys have been sick with nasty colds.  We are done with the fevers now, and on to the coughs.  Badger is having trouble with wheezing again, which makes my heart worry.  Hen is so clingy and needy, poor little guy.  Having J home today has been a huge help.  I wanted to leave you with something uplifting....and wanted to share these pictures from a few days back, before the cold found us.

Here is what you get when you mix this....

 with this.....

 and one giant clothe teepee....

 wait for it.....

 ha ha!
