We are home enjoying the snow today... too bad they waited until we were almost all the way to work before calling it. We played in the snow for a while, but Colin wouldn't keep his gloves on se we came inside to warm up. Colin wanted to build a snow man, but as soon as we would scrape together a base he would jump all over it. Christine distrated him while I threw this together. There are at least two inches on the ground with more coming down. This our first real snow day of the season and I am glad we can all be home together to enjoy it.

Happy New Year Everybody!

We had a mellow night at home watching movies, but Colin took a late nap and actually made it to midnight without getting cranky. We watched Little Miss Sunshine, and Colin actually sat and watched it with us. When it was over he started pointing at the TV and yelling at me: More Bus! More Bus! (there is yellow VW bus in the movie) .

Colin toasted with OJ and passed out on the couch a few minutes later.

I hope everyone had a fun New Year's eve and that your year is off to a great start.

tangled mess

We are just about finished painting our living room. It has been a multi -stage process occurring mostly during Colin's outings with grandma and his naps. I also took the opportunity to clean up this mess behind the TV. This is the before... the after is still pretty ugly so I didn't take a picture. There were numerous orphaned cables that were no longer used but were lodged in the mess. I mounted the power strips under the lip of the table and every thing is now coiled semi-neatly and is off the floor. We gained about 5 more inches of living room by moving a few things around so we could push the mess closer to the wall. I didn't any new functionality so it was basically just a clean up job and not a full re-wire. This task is half chore and half hobby, but is a lot more fun when you are adding something instead of just cleaning
