It sure was snowing a lot as Jared headed to work this morning. (Today we got a total of about 10 inches of snow.) Adam started making a little noises at 8am so I brought him into my bed for some cuddle time. He sure was excited to snuggle between Truman and I. He kept saying “Hi True-in (Truman), Hi Mommy!” He liked pointing out Truman’s eyes, ears and nose. After a while he sat up and noticed Kate at the end of our bed. Then he said, “Hi Tate!” He enjoyed watching the snow out our window. We looked at some books together. Jacob woke up around 9am. The boys stood on the couch to watch the snow out the window. We watched Clifford during breakfast. On Clifford today Emily Elizabeth got her finger pinched by a crab. We’ve seen this episode before and Jacob sure got tense when she went to pick up the rock (crab). When she got pinched he held his finger and said, “oh!” louder than Emily. One of our dogs chewed a very large hole in our duvet cover so I worked on sewing that this morning. Then I took it back to our bed. As I was putting the cover back on Adam came back and reached for my hand saying, “hand”. He took my finger and pulled me down the hallway. He wanted to show me that Sesame Street was on. After Sesame Street was over we went outside. I worked on shoveling the driveway. There was a lot of snow. After about an hour we went back inside for lunch. At 1pm I read and cuddled with Adam before tucking him in his crib for a nap. Then Jacob and I went back outside. There already were a couple inches of snow where I’d already shoveled and it was still snowing. I re-shoveled that and then worked on finishing the rest of the driveway. Sure was a lot of work. Jacob had fun playing in the snow. He kept bringing me handfuls of snow and asking me if I wanted a bite of his carrot or pie. Our neighbor was using his tractor plow and helped me out at the end of our driveway, which was great. As I worked on clearing a spot for Jared to park Jacob started complaining that he was cold. I quickly finished up and we went inside. Jacob enjoyed some hot chocolate. Adam woke up around 4pm and Jared got home around 4:30. The boys hid on him under the little table, which I’d covered with a blanket. After dinner I went outside to take care of the animals. When I came back inside Jacob was hiding on me. The boys had fun walking around in my boots and shoes. Daddy read to the boys on the couch. Adam kept wanting to turn a bunch of pages at a time. Jacob hooked the stool (filled with things) to the back of the dump truck using the stethoscope. He’d come over to me or Daddy saying, “You wanna buy any-sing?” We had fun playing with him. Even Adam “bought” something from him. Jacob gave him a book and then Adam handed him some "money". The boys were tucked in bed around 9pm.
