More snow

Well, I waved them off happily this morning, only to find out that the school was closing at lunchtime. (I had to send a rescue party, as my car was too snowed in, anyway) In the afternoon, Jem threw a wobbler as noone would go out in the blizzard. I was cosy, crocheting mohair bootees, anyway. Later, when it was finally snowing less, we went out, but by then it was too deep to push the buggy, too deep to sledge. I left them out there for a bit, but they gave up and made some fairy tunnels instead.
They spent the rest of the day reading Beano and Dandy annuals, and Jem finished reading Mister Skip to me.
Allie walked halfway across the room and said "marble", or (barble, and marbar). He's started saying "no" and shaking his head every time I ask him anything, like, do you want a banana? No. (then eats it).

first thing this morning
