sleet days

Well, the much-hyped blizzard of '11 left us with a couple inches of snow and about 6 inches of solid sleet/ice on the ground. I guess we got lucky - the counties just north of us got the blizzard and tons of snow-we were right on the dividing line. We still lucked out and got two days off of work and daycare (snow days around here are super rare.. everything goes by what Purdue does, and they never cancel for anything. Still can't believe we got two days!)

Although, when I think back to the blizzard of '07 that won us two snow days, I remember them being a little different.. watching movies, taking naps. Not so much this time around. Being trapped in the house for two days with an easily bored 15 month old is... different. Let's just say by last night, Mike and I were making mixed drinks and ordering pizza, and leave it at that.

Just a couple of pictures of colin and his mayhem:

I've learned to walk.. so now I can use ride-on toys as scooters?

This was not the first or last time this happened this weekend.

We did escape for a couple of hours to our neighbors' house yesterday, for a change of scenery and new toys. Colin immediately busted out with "ditty" for their kitty, Chloe. I wonder how many other words he's keeping under his hat? Anyway, back to work and school for all of us today. Stay warm everyone.
