Thought I'd post some pictures from our recent snowstorms - which aren't even over!!! It seems that the South Shore is getting the most snow - I heard here in Quincy we have 75-80"!!  Pictures don't really seem to do it justice, it's hard to capture how much snow there is.

The first few snow days were fun.  I made chili + cornbread, minestrone + butter dips, shepherd's pie, pancakes... We knitted and colored and the girls played really well together. Ruth took great naps and we drank wine and were cozy by the fire. Now on the 8th day of cancelled school we have snotty noses, fevers, tantrums, low patience levels ... :)  and there's supposed to be another foot on Thursday!  Anyway it has already broken records for Boston and it's been fun and exciting - we will remember it for sure!

This was the first snow which seemed so much at the time!

I was actually nervous having Edie play outside yesterday - I was worried she'd be stuck or fall in headfirst or something!



Ruth and I joined for a few minutes :)
