We are now finishing day 3 of being caged up at home. The boys are doing exceptionally well - I think its just Lance and I that are itching to get out of here and see the real world again! You can tell you're desperate when you beg to go to the grocery store to get out of the house! After breakfast this morning, Lance said, "Jenny, I should probably go to Publix to get some more food. I think if I shovel the driveway I should be fine on the roads"...me - "no, I can go"...Lance - "no, really, I can go!"...me - "okay, but can I go to CVS when you get back???". Don't get me wrong, I am actually going to be sad when things go back to normal and I don't get to see Lance during the day. I have a feeling that Harrison is going to have a hard time as well. It took him 2 weeks after Christmas to get used to Lance being back at work and he is already starting to tell me, "mommy, I don't want daddy to go to work". Poor little guy - its always so hard to explain why he has to leave everyday.
On a more cheery note, we have had fun getting to play outside in the snow each day. Yesterday I braved the elements and walked over to the Mayfields' house to go sledding down their hill. I blew up a few pool floats, packed up the kids in the all-terrain stroller and got a workout trying to sludge through the snow and ice filled streets. We made it over there, but unfortunately since there was such a thick layer of ice over the snow, the floats wouldn't sail down the hill very well. They kept getting stopped on the way down by big chunks of ice. I think, amidst all the fun, we may have officially lost the crab float. Oh well, at least we tried and had a great time while we were at it!
Here is Harrison's first attempt...Lance is playing "goalie" at the bottom of the hill!
How cute are they??
Ben, aka "Spiderman", wanted to get into the action too!
Today (Wed), I finally got around to making a snowman with Harrison. I wish I would have done this on day 1, because most of the snow wouldn't stick together since it was all mixed with ice. I was only able to use the snow that was over the landscaping since it hadn't been touched yet. I don't ever remember having such a hard time trying to build a snowman growing up! Apparently I've lost a few of my "yankee" skills from growing up! I was able to make a small snowman and Harrison helped me decorate him. It was funny because Oakley kept coming over and eating the Hershey kisses off the snowman and it was driving Harrison crazy. I couldn't help but laugh!
Proud of our hard work! Oakley just looks mad that I wouldn't let her keep eating the Hershey kisses!
Aside from playing in the snow, Harrison's other favorite activity is playing with trains. Thankfully Santa listened to Harrison's Christmas list and brought a bunch of train track and tunnels and bridges for him. Lance has mad spacial planning skills and got so excited the other night to build an awesome track using all the new pieces. Here is the most recent track that he built for Harrison...I still can't believe that he was able to fit that many track pieces on one train table!
