Diego decided to make a checkerboard. He got pretty good at the game after a few times and some hints. He really focused on this project which was a nice break....all the way around!
Boys and Brothers!
Christian went even as far as shining shoes for everyone...ahh that kid!
When the power had been off for a few hours we decided to get the candles and flashlights out just in case. Good thing we did. The boys loved eating by candlelight.
Anthony loved pretending to blow out the candles. Though he didn't love it when the candles we had going set the smoke detectors off...twice! At least the boys discovered what the detectors sounded like and if they hear that noise, what it means. A good learning moment!
When they plowed the street they took all the snow from the whole street and put it on the island in the middle of the street. This made for a 15 foot mountain which had the boys going crazy to get out there and climb it. I let them go at it today!

The NC cousins are soooo jealous about that giant snow mountain! And I have to say, I think it looks a little fun myself. =)
Hope your power is back on soon, though. I'm guessing the novelty of dining (and everything else) by candlelight will wear off quickly. Not to mention the whole no-heat issue. =)
You are the greatest mom!! :-) Appreciate your wonderful example.
