we've been inside,

because it's cold out there!! this morning when i got up, it was 10 degrees! as in, one degree away from single digits! i promise you, i just looked outside and my neighbors' dog, charlie, had come out for a minute, and he had on a sweater. a green one. not making this up. when dogs are wearing sweaters in mississippi, that means indoor play, people!!

william is becoming quite the little architect. here, he built a ferris wheel for the barrel o' monkeys.


and william and wes have both gotten a little workout while boxing on the wii.


953 pieces might not sound like a lot, but trust me, 953 keeps little people occupied for quite some time.


and when the destroyer comes along and busts the prisoners out of jail, destroys the satellites, and tears the wheels off of the K-9 unit van, big brother will be occupied yet again for quite some time.

oh well...other than drinking hot chocolate and coming up with reasons not to go outside, what else do we have to do??
