Big Excitement!

There's a new children's museum that has opened in a town nearby. The Hands-On Gallery is perfect for kids about two to five years old. Ellie thinks that Hands-On might just be a little slice of heaven.

There is a grocery store there:

And a paint studio:

And even a kitchen for baking apple pies:

And lots of other good stuff. We could spend days in there and not get bored.

SNOW DAY!!!

We actually had snow. Yes, that white cold stuff that the northerners talk about. At one brief moment last night there was maybe as much as four inches on the ground. The best part is, the ground is still covered.

Late last night we had to get out of bed to go play in the snow. In these here parts snow play trumps bedtimes. Half our neighborhood was out with their cameras. We built a Frosty and gave him Oreo eyes (yes Oreos, Frosty is that important to us). He's still out there this afternoon, slowly changing shape as he melts.
