We have been hiding out this week. Spending a lot of time hanging out at home. Twice we have spent the whole day in pajamas (except Duncan, who sadly had to go to work).

The additional crummy weather and snow has left me wanting to hibernate and read (three books down so far this week!).

Elizabeth is loving the couch cushion fort we built (she often calls it a cave or a tent, too). It took us a while to come up with a workable model. We were originally using a tiny bookshelf until it got knocked over one too many times and broke. Ooops.

The only time we ventured out today was to check out the snow this morning (still in our pjs under the warmer clothes).

As much as I love snow and seeing how much Elizabeth loves snow, I am definitely dreaming about spring.

We woke up today to a nice little snow fall. Elizabeth immediately (and willingly) offered to get dressed to go out in it.

She was even willing to wear her gloves.

There was definitely enough snow to play in. We tried to get her to make snowballs, but she wasn’t that into it. Walking and stomping in snow seemed to be the most popular.

Then we made Elizabeth her very first snowman. She was adamant we had to go in and get a carrot for its nose. She was completely right. The carrot made the snowman. Elizabeth got to munch on the other half of the carrot.

Sadly, the snow has already started to melt. Our snowman has already fallen over and gotten a (severe) head injury.

At least it was fun for a few hours.
