With a light dusting (slushing?), Desmond is eager to help shovel the walk

He did actually contribute to the snow (slushie?) removal effort

Eleanor wishing she was a part of the shovel party

After the walks are clear, Desmond dutifully volunteers to begin shoveling the front yard

Desmond shoveling the front porch. Fatherly pride: he moved the chairs up so he could clear out the rest. Smart fella.

Desmond taking his new “Desi-sized” shovel for a spin

Sister excels at “picking at stuff,” including the dinosaur decals on Des’ wall. When it unfortunately necessitated wall repair in one spot, Des lended a hand with the painting (aka, dad gambling)

After that, we wanted to “paint” all the things

“Reading” Dinosaurumpus! to baby sister

Even as this picture was being taken, Desmond was blissfully echoing dad’s advice: “No eat snow.” Yes, you’re the poster child for “don’t eat the [days old, mostly melted into the dirt] snow.”

Time to warm up and read some Little Engine

Mom’s last day of maternity leave with this cute face

The 2″ of powder melted today beyond the “clumpable” stage to the “slipping off itself” stage. The result, the saddest mini snowman to date. Desmond, however, was enthralled.

Mom got all the snow gear. Totally prepared for that February blizzard.

Three days and a quarter-cake-eaten later, we lit the candles and sang the song. Des was surprisingly on-key. Also, mom makes the best angel food cake EVER.

Not going to be ready for bedtime for awhile.

Up past bedtime to check out the snow.
