A snow day in.

I woke up today, took one glance out of my bedroom window and decided that come hell or high water, I was not going anywhere today.

Snow? Check. Wind? Check. Cold? Check. Check. Check!

We managed to knock out a couple of small projects and le husband did the shopping so I could (gladly) stay put in the warm, toasty house. One such project? I tackled the huge pile of stuff that accumulated in my dining room due to the kitchen face lift that's still currently underway.

Yikes, right? Only took an hour and a whole lot of me asking "why is this even in here?"  for me to get it all cleared out.

....

We made our very first terrarium today. 

....

And we installed a new light fixture over our breakfast nook last night.

We  =  le husband.

....

I volunteered Owen for shoveling duties today thinking he would despise it. I was wrong. Very, very wrong.

I was only going to ask him to do the back sidewalk, but when I saw how much fun he was having I volunteered Olivia to help him do the front walk too.

Politely shoveling the snow led to snow shovel jousting.

Which led to a full out snow war.

Remy and I giggled away from the front window as they piled shovelful after shovelful over each other's head. And snow war aside, they didn't do such a shabby job.

Everyone was rewarded with big, steaming cups of hot chocolate.

Goodnight. <3
