We're in the ICEhouse now

Baby, it's cold outside! We've spent the day enjoying the warm indoors and looking at all the cool icesculptures forming outside our house....this one reminded me of being behind bars (not that I'd know anything about that) ;-) Maybe Spring is behind bars?

The Ice Curtain

Look at that gorgeous sky!Jack loved seeing their toys dripping ice

And for your puzzle pleasure - stars and stripes!

Leon Redbone's In The Jailhouse Now

and you're gonna HUG meeeee!

Dean and Harry have been singing this line, altering it to fit their needs for days now...it's so sweet to hear their voices blending, and I'll tape it if I can ever catch them...for now, I'm just enjoying it!

the double-squeeze :wub:

Daddy and Jack
Jack, Daddy and Harry
When the sun goes down...

Jack came up with a new game .... snow boxing!

I didn't get a great pic, but it's pretty self-explanatory

Day Is Done

Jennifer Hudson's And I'm Telling You

Dazzling dancing diamonds from the sky

It snowed, and snowed, and snowed! I'm trying to make the best of it, since there's not much I can do to change it - I'd gotten lulled into not paying much attention to the meteorologists' predictions because they've been so wrong, for so long.....so I left errands and chores and shopping for today, when they'd be in school - maybe next week!

So here are some pretty pix - the dancing snowflakes look nice

until you realize that's my favorite tree, set to bloom in a week or so, that is bowed down and likely to be lost this year - I may go knock the snow off and see if I can save it - (you'll see why it's worth it, if it blooms)
Americana, cold but still beautiful

The Winter Wonderland that we woke to - a friend said it was like living in a treehouse outside our bedroom window

This little guy may have to wait a little longer for spring

Yesterday looked like this...

...and this morning looked like this

It's a lot of snow...it really does look like ice cream...maybe I'll have to give mom's snow ice cream recipe a whirl!
