Some pictures and stuff to keep me distracted from all the snow outside on this Easter weekend.
Total randomness!
When you feed them spaghetti, best to remove their clothes.
I don't know what Dex is teaching Tav in this photo, but they both have a hard time seeing things through the smears of dog snot on the window.
Just this morning Amy captured an icicle that stayed on the driveway after I pulled away in Neo (the Matrix) to go shopping with the boys. The last of the winter stalagmites.
I have vowed not to shovel any more this year no matter how much more falls. I have ceased to care.
Camo pants and socks for hands. Look out.
Falling asleep in his Stove Top Stuffing. Poor lad.
Great pictures. I forgot how cold it is here for about 4 minutes. Thank you! OMG, don't let Tav fall asleep sitting up, he'll suffocate in those cheeks.
A great Easter to your family!

LOVE your new banner. That tummy is just beggin' for a raspberry.
All my kidlets have done the falling asleep at the table routine...but Logan's the only one who manages to keep masticating for a ridiculously long time post eye shuttage. Looks like he's chewing cud. Boy loves his food.

Dog snot on the window! Pat wipes our front window almost every day.

My wife and I both are so averse to messes that we never let Ben loose with a bowl of spaghetti like you did with Tavish.
There's something to be said for letting kids experience their food with minimal interference from parents.
Cool pics otherwise, too. Those boys. Wow. I'm just remembering all the times my older brother (22 months difference) and I had together. We lived out in the country, so that pretty much all we had was each other most of the time.

Linda, thanks! And a hoppy Easter to you and yours. (I should be hung for typing that out.)
Smarty, your boy (and no doubt the rest of them) would fit in nicely here. We all love our food. And it loves us back with interest.
Paul, we're lucky to hit our windows once a week. Real lucky. I'm not too sure what to blame it on.
Mark, I think you and Shan would gasp in shock once you crossed the threshold of the Fraser Castle. Return to your car to get surgical masks, booties and gloves, and tip-toe back in, wondering that we all haven't died from dysentery or something. (Well, it's not that bad, really, but a good deal of entropy has set up shop here with few intentions of ever leaving.)

Spring in the North. We had another foot of snow fall here this week, and are expecting a few more inches over the next few days with high temps in the 20s F/-5C.
April is the cruelest month.
I think we'll jut take our clothes off and have some spaghetti.

I like Tav's "Fighting Elephant" Kung Fu position in the top pic. Defending his spaghetti, no doubt.
If it makes you feel any better about your cold April up there...we're fighting the freeze down here, too. It dropped down to 19 degrees F over the weekend and all the pretty flowers I had been bragging to you about have wilted. It's odd to see flowers and icicles on the trees at the same time.
