Snow day

Here in the midwest, it's cold.... bitterly cold. We don't go out much when it's like this, so we try to keep busy inside with various projects. Maya and Harrison were snuggled up on a chair working on projects (so it seemed) and I had to snap a few pics. Let's see how it unfolds...

Aaaw, aren't they sweet? I don't even notice the scissors in Harrison's hand as I grab the camera.

Maya's looking worried, she should be.... Harrison and scissors? Not a good match.

He made the first cut. She's not amused.

Fists start flying after this last picture, and the camera is put down to intervene...

And that folks? Is the story of my day. All day. Every day.

Not that I'm complaining.

(Oh, and yes, my fantastic husband DID bring me roses for no special reason.)

I'm suprised they share a chair for any length of time. Maren and Lydia won't at all.

You should come here. We just got back from a walk and had to take our jackets off because we were too hot.

At least Harrison didn't use the scissors to cut Maya's curls!

Too funny! That first picture...yeah, I noticed the scissors first thing. My stomach hurt as I scrolled. I thought Maya's hair was a gonner too! Silly boy!

Love the mini picture story. Fists would fly around here too! Good luck staying busy.

Classic capture of a beautiful and innocent interplay of children inevitably turned ugly.

I know it seems crazy sometimes (or maybe always) but what a joy to have such beautiful, smart, creative, happy, healthy, and even helpful (If messy)children.... You are a lucky woman Amber..
Love you !!
