We had a snow day of sorts yesterday.  After a nearly twenty minute car deicing and then our trip to the gym with a fall on the black ice -we holed up inside for the rest of the day.

Luckily- since it was President's day and the forensics rotation is at the county coroner's office- Kent had the day off.  He helped with the car deicing while I took pictures :)

Ice storms really are pretty amazing, but I sure wouldn't mind a garage on days like these.  And speaking of garages- we just turned in application for the PERFECT house in Dayton (it has a two car garage) so say a little prayer for us that we get it. There are a lot of people interested in it so we've got to send some of our positive vibes it's way.

 I can't believe how this ice can just coat everything. 

We tried to keep the kids entertained all day with something besides the tv and they spent a lot of time with their playdough machine.  I got this contraption for 90% off at meijer!  Kent especially loves it!

We do now have playdough chunks all over the house- but it's worth the time z and Ike are distracted!

 Kent and Ike napped while Zeb and I worked on reading the 'starfall' books. It's the best kid's reading website ever.

 And then we ended up making cookies for fhe.  Kent and I think this pic of Zeb looks a lot like Daysa.  Maybe it's the skeewompous lips.
