Random January Days

Like I said, January has been a suprisingly good month for us and although we have been cooped up in the house many days, Thad always finds a way to entertain:)

He still loves to make anything that resembles a hat, his hat. Silly guy!

Climbing in and out of anything and everything! He always acts so accomplished when he does this and says, "Mommy! Look!" I always give him his deserved applause and he climbs out.

His newest home entertainment is helping. Who wouldn't want that, right? Even if you are just grabbing a glass of water in the kitchen and he ends up throwing a fit, yelling, "Helping, mommy! Helping!" It really is adorable...most of the time;-)

The Snow

So if you haven't heard about the snow back east, you definitely haven't been keeping up with your current events. No problem, I wouldn't know about it if I didn't live here. There have been a few blizzards. Within the first 2 storms we had exceeded the amount of snow accumulated in an average entire winter season here in Norwalk. And it just keeps coming! I'm from Utah (and lived in Cache Valley for the 5 years previous to here) so I know about snow. But when you live in a compact area and the cities don't anticipate the arrival of this much snow, there is just no where to put it and roads not as clear as they should be. It's hard to see around corners and nearly impossible to park on the street or most parking lots because MOUNTAINS of snow are taking up all that space. If I was a better blogger I would give you more statistics, but I don't want to do the research. Take my word for it...there is A LOT of snow! 

The Silver Lining = Play dates with Dad (He's already had 3 snow days this month!)

Brian spent an hour and a half constructing this bad boy...A slide w/ stairs!

Thad loved it and took several trips down.

Mom and Dad even gave it a try! 

We were pretty much the coolest people on the block;-)

So the snow is crazy and I hear we are supposed to get another whole foot this week...from one storm...aaaahhhhh! Will it ever stop? I'll keep you posted.
