Snowy Day Off

Parkway was closed today so I spent the morning shoveling snow and helping the twins build a snow mountain that we eventually tunneled through in three places. We also went tubing in the back yard again, but not for too long. By the time I finished shoveling the driveway and walkways, building the snow mountain, and tunneling through it, we had been outside for at least 2 hours. I think we came inside around 12:30 or 1pm, and Angie had hot chocolate and mac and cheese waiting for everyone. After that, Adrian took a nap and I watched some TV with the twins (something called "Prehistoric Planet" on Discovery kids - it was pretty interesting).

We got lucky the last two times it snowed - our neighbor across the street, Ron, used his snowblower on both occasions to clear our driveway and sidewalk for us. Today I didn't see him outside until mid-afternoon and I never noticed if he had the snowblower out. I only saw him with shovel in hand.

2005 Chrysler Town & Country Sliding Door Fix

A side effect of this problem was that our power door locks also stopped working within the ...

Star Wars Puzzle "You're all clear, kid."

We're working on a new 1,000-piece puzzle called, "You're all clear, kid." It's a Star Wars puzzle that prominently features the Millennium Falcon, Darth Vader, the Death Star, and all the primary characters from "A New Hope." It's been a difficult one so far because of the number of black pieces with "stars" on them, along with the number of white Falcon pieces. But we are starting to see the light at the end of the tunnel! Here is a picture of where we are now...
