I suppose it comes as no surprise to people that winter in Buffalo is LONG. I mean really long. It isn't really the snowfall that is an issue. Surprisingly, we don't get a ton of snow where I live, though in the southtowns it is a whole different story. But, where I am, it is really just that it is cold, and the snow stays on the ground for a significant amount of time. Without kids, this is a nuisance perhaps, but not too terrible. With kids, it's like being trapped in a winter boring land. We can't go out for walks. Going to the store is an adventure in bundling and snow suits and struggles to keep hats on. Needless to say, I'm very eager for the beginning of spring, which is unfortunately many months off.
Anyhoo, so I'm trying to make the most of it. The family is recovering from a little bit of a stomach flu bug, so we are staying close to the nest. Hank and Clara are busy playing with their abundance of Christmas and birthday gifts. With today being Epiphany, they get a few more little things this evening. Not a shabby life.
Here are some current playing at home pics. The kids are pretty fascinated with hoodies and hats these days. Clara tries to put them on herself, with little success. Hank likes to see himself in the mirror after the hat is on.

You can always take a field trip to my house! We can play Rock Band -- the babies can play the maracas while you play the drums. :)
