"I wanna go snow!"

This was Colleen's wail every time we came in from playing in the snow last week. She'd bang on the inside of the front door (luckily muffled by her gloves) hoping to entice someone to take her out again. Robert must be really warm blooded because he'd go out without zipping his coat or putting on a hat. No amount of snow down his collar seems to bother him.

In all, lots of hot chocolate was consumed; snowmen were decapitated; wagon loads of snow were moved from one end of the yard to the other (no point to it - it was just fun) and the kids enjoyed pushing snow back onto the driveway so Mom could shovel some more.

The snow is mostly gone now but Elizabeth is prolonging her enjoyment of the winter stuff with a day trip with her friend to Liberty Mountain in Pennsylvania. Right about now she's zooming down the mountain on an inner tube.

Robert is spending his day off mostly on the computer and with his trains but he told me that he's very impressed that "Dr. Luther King gets his own holiday even though he wasn't even a president. He's very important."
