Day 3504

 On the list of things I never expected or wanted to do, but have now done: bailed out a window well.

Day 3503

 Building barricades to redirect water is much more fun when you’re a kid.

Day 3502

 Snow engineering is more fun than this water BS.

Day 3501

 Apparently it has been long enough since a kid was last home sick. 

Trying to concentrate instead on the miracle of finding an earring that fell off outside.

Day 3500

 Some days you just have to walk all the grumpiest out.

Day 3499

Dear Outside,

Have you considered spring? 

Best wishes,

Nonplussed in Narnia

Day 3498

 One of those strange times that you’re thankful for snow at the end of April.

Day 3497

 This is not fine. No thank you.

Day 3496

 Well.

We almost made it without the basement flooding…

Day 3495

 What if the storm drain is already full up on storm before the storm?

Day 3494

 How long does it take to build an ark? 

What if you can only work on it quietly, after the kids are in bed?

Day 3493

I’m not sure our children appreciate side quests.

Day 3492

 When the two year old is going around the table asking every person to show her their scowl face…

Day 3491

It’s much easier to appreciate snowstorms when going for walks than when shovelling (again).

Day 3490

 “Sometimes I can’t control my ankle.”

Day 3489

 Always be shovelling

Day 3488

 Banana, as expected, is working to potty train herself.

Day 3487

 If you’re given (or take) a snow day, why not also have Pyjamas Day, Crazy Hair Day, Cake Day, and Lego Day?

Day 3486

 Waiting for the snow, at times heavy, to start.

Day 3485

 Aside from the boogers, sitting on the floor with a two year old and doing puzzles is not a bad way to start the week.

Periodically checking on the impending doom blizzard is not recommended.

Day 3484

 That feeling when you hear your kids saying ‘I love you’ to each other… and then immediately start riling each other up again.

Day 3483

 DUTCH BLIIIIIIIIIIITZ!!!!

Day 3482

 But we have to jump on the dots, mommy. I’m not ready to go in the car. Not just yet.

Day 3481

 When it rains, it pours until your flight gets cancelled.

Day 3480

 It’s that time again; do a visual check of the river level to see if our house is likely to fall in this year.

Day 3479

 You are not allergic to sleep, Captain Stinkybutt. You won’t convince me no matter how much you yell about it.

Day 3478

 How many times can you misspell colleg colledge college before you aren’t allowed to put it on your resume anymore?

Day 3477

 Are you doing something right or wrong when your two year old starts carefully writing to do lists?

Day 3476

 What could be more captivating for a two year old than the prospect of building a Lego rocket taller than she is?

Day 3475

 Simmer down, little goblins.
