Colm is the star student this week which means, among other things, that he gets to bring home Speckles. Speckles has a journal and each night we write about the adventures he has had that day. We get to keep him until next Wednesday and he gets to go everywhere with us in between now and then.

Look at that defense! 🙂
All the boys working together to assemble the Lego Millenium Falcon we got at Legoland.
There are only so many board games one can play on the third consecutive snow day when you don’t have a car and are stuck at home with the children for 72 hours. Honestly, it wasn’t too bad. The boys got along fairly well. (There was some crying, hitting and yelling…don’t get me wrong, they ARE siblings.) So, we broke out Sorry. Liam and I played while Colm watched which was probably for the best. (Look back at where I mentioned crying earlier.) We had already played slapjack, war and countless video games. As much fun as snow days are, I am glad Monday is going to be a balmy 33 degrees.
I called in the professionals to clean my house today. It was worth every penny. New year, clean house. Awesome. I am good at picking up and cleaning, but to be honest, the finer points of REALLY cleaning are lost on me. How they got my wood floors to look so good I have no idea. I am certain that my toilets are cleaner now than when they were installed. They even took off the couch cushions and cleaned out all the junk under there which, quite frankly, was a little embarrassing. I don’t even want to know what they found under there. Am I going to have these people clean my house every week? Month? No, but a few times a year would be awesome.
Heaven help us. Colm got a clock radio for Christmas and he has discovered the radio function. Tonight he turned on the music for me while I put the clean sheets on his bed. It’s also nice to have a little music while you are brushing your teeth and putting your jammies on. He cracks me up. He doesn’t care what the music is either (or even if it’s mostly static)…he just dances and dances in only the way Colm can. 🙂
Our sweet cat, Ophie, trying to figure out what all that blowing white stuff is outside.
Colm and Liam found a new sledding hill today. Colm decided to go face first down the hill and ended up doing a face plant in the snow. He thought his “snow mustache” was pretty funny.
The boys don’t have a DS, but they have found a way around it…our neighbor does. 🙂
The boys doing the tango…they were having so much fun. It was impossible to get them to bed; they were too wound up!!!
