Snow Bound Insanity

School was cancelled today even though there was no snow on the ground until about 3 p.m. While we were shoveling our neighbor was outside with his two boys. He left them playing in the front yard and came to talk to Jamie.

"Man, I need to get away from my kids for a few minutes."

We laughed. Being stuck inside all day while waiting for a blizzard is no fun...especially when there's no snow.

So we made snow forts inside the house.


Gav's house and his favorite pose.

Some seriously awesome "fort" hair.

Enjoying her own space.


Avalanching Gav's. I totally love that you can see his head poking up under the blanket.


Distress at the destruction of the fort. Now you know why his "other side" is the better one.

Beck, I can remember your mother and her brothers making forts in the living room, or was that f#*ts?

Yes, how well I remember forts and hiding places made in the living room and family room, depending which house. Anyway, I do believe there were a few tears also when the forts were taken down. Such special memories of your mom, Uncle Paul, David and Terri during those times. I believe they even had some treats in the forts...eeek. Anyway, it must have been a great deal of fun for Gav and Laynie. Those types of play days building forts or having a big box to skoot around will never be forgotten. Hope the snow melts in a too not long of a time.
Love you all, G.G. Edie
