No Business Like Snow Business

I admit, I totally stole my title off of Facebook. The Snow puns were flying around like crazy yesterday with the Blizzard of 2011 raging outside and everybody stuck inside trying to entertain themselves.

If I haven't made it clear yet, I'm so SICK of snow. I'm done with winter and I will greet Spring with a huge smile on my face. Max however, is another story. He seems to be loving the snow and is doing fine entertaining himself inside. We made snow ice cream, cotton ball snowmen, played hours of legos, and battled more goblins and bad guys than I knew existed!

"I miss Grandma Flo"

That was Max this morning after I returned from taking Grandma Flo to the airport. He wasn't very happy with me.

Thanks to my mama for taking the time to come visit. We had such fun eating pancakes, playing balloon rockets, and calling "farmer brown". Max certainly loves having his Grandma Flo come to town!

Good Start

Yesterday we were snowed in. Again. Have I mentioned I'm not a fan of winter? I'm ready for spring N-O-W!

Max helped me start on the art projects for Lucy's wall in the room. He was insistent that she really would like me to make Rocket Ships. Partly because Rocket Ships are the only thing Max likes to draw right now and partly because that is what is on HIS wall. I'm not sure he really thought that much of what I eventually made on the canvas, but I've learned 3 year old boys are a hard species to please.

Max helped me paint the letters and paint the solid color on the canvas. He was quite the helper, and we managed to only have paint on the carpet once.

This is what Lucy's artwork is looking like. I need to add some finishing touches to make it look truly complete, but I'm pretty pleased with how it is going.

The question now is to put faces on the animals or not? Lane says faces, I'm not so sure. These are the hard questions in our house right now :)

Snow Fun

We had snow last week but because of illness and extreme cold, Max wasn't really able to enjoy it. Luckily, the cold kept the snow around and he got out yesterday with Lane and had some fun!

Funny Faces

Lane and Max killing some time in a public bathroom.

A Son's Love

Lately Max and I take turns telling each other we love each other more than...... fill in the blank.

A common exchange will sound like this:

Me: I love you more than cookies.

Max: I love you more than chocolate cake.

Me: I love you more than Star Wars.

Max: I love you more than pizza.

Etc. etc. etc.

Today Max told me this:

"I love you more than farts!"

I guess I should be glad I rank so high.
