stir CRAZY

so we are on snow day #3 around here.
elijah was already to have tomorrow off so it looks like monday was the only day of school this week! texas weather is so crazy! it's making us crazy. stir crazy that is.
here is a little of what we've been doing the past few days.

brotherly snuggling on the couch while watching movies.

we have been sporting this crazy hair for the past 3 days.
no need to brush if you can't go anywhere, right?

we've been putting on costumes, playing games and pretending.

and of course we braved the frigid weather to play out in the SNOW!

their little get-ups crack me up.
they look like little marshmallow men. :-)

i think we COULD live in a colder climate.
they all actually really liked playing outside -

including amos here. i wasn't sure how he would react, but he loved it!
we threw his ball and he would slip & slide around chasing it.
he also loved sticking his face in the snow and licking it as you can see.

it was a winter wonderland!
(or a bunch of ice and a little snow, whatever :-)

i can't remember why i took this picture of judah last night at dinner.
he's cute, that's probably why. :-)

i made a strawberry cake with cream cheese icing and at one point he had icing all over his face!
we have had plenty of groceries thanks to jason. he's continued to (slowly) go to work every day and brought home some groceries for me yesterday.

elijah also typed up a letter to the little boy we sponsor through Compassion International.
his name is Jonfer and he's the same age as elijah.
you too can sponsor a child for only $38 a month...check it out!
pretty soon we're going to sponsor a child for judah to keep in touch with.

have a WARM week!
we are expecting more snow tonight and tomorrow, but the weekend looks to be warmer so hopefully that ice will melt then!
here's a video of the boys playing the snow.
sorry i'm so loud, i guess it's because i'm right by the speaker.
