Snow...but no snow day? What's the point?

Nah, we had a great time in it, even if we didn't get the day off. I let the boys play by themselves on Saturday, and they spent over an hour shoveling snow, rolling around in the snow, and making a really impressive snowman:

You might have to search to find it. It was the same size as Ace.

Grrrrrrrrr

Sunday we took Sam sledding in my parents' backyard because they have some good Sam-sized hills. Sam is quite the thrill-seeker, so he loved every minute of it. I tried not to be offended when we'd ask him, "who do you want to sled with next?" and he always said "Papa Jay!" or "Daddy!" Check out some pictures of our rides!

Painting the Paper Plate and Other Developments

That's what Ben is doing in this picture: the ceremonial painting of the paper plate:

Very exciting.

Turns out installing the elfa stuff was as easy as they said it was. We heart elfa!!

Tada! The big finale.......

I'm so excited! I'm starting the (what's turning out to be slow) project of loading it up. This is full of big decisions like: do I put underwear across the top drawers and socks in the 2nd drawer? Or socks in the far left drawer and underwear in the 2 right drawers? How can I most efficiently fold my t-shirts to fit in the drawers? Which shoes get the honor of being in the slots on the sides of the shelves rather than the shoe rack I got? SO MUCH TO FIGURE OUT. It's just too bad I have to cover up the lovely decorative paper plate with clothing....

More pictures to come.
