Snapfinger Circus

I guess this is partly my fault for letting Quinn watch parts of Man on Wire (an awesome documentary, you guys need to rent it), but he's really been into tightrope walking / circus acts lately.

Here's the result of him monkeying around on the front porch

Snow!

So, how crazy was that? I spent two days telling Quinn not to get his hopes up for snow, even when it began with freezing rain Sunday.

I thought those few flakes we got would be about it; of course, that wasn't the case. We ended up with 7 1/2 inches here in our neighborhood. Schools were closed for two days. There are lots of limbs that need attention in the yard, but nothing major or dangerous.

The boys had a blast, of course. We played at the neighbor's house most of Sunday, then Monday morning went out on patrol moving limbs and cutting trees on the main drive. The boys loved helping out.

London had no idea of any of it, but I did take her out in it Sunday evening, just so I could tell her I did one day.
