Snow that travels from the deck to the bathtub in our master bathroom that is... The boys really wanted to play in the additional snow fall we received over night. It seemed colder than yesterday and the snow depth made me a little uneasy. After a call to Troy confirmed that maybe we had better hold off on the outdoor snow experience, I decided to think BIG. (Pinky Dinky Doo reference for those that know the cartoon).
I don't think this is what Troy had in mind, but I decided to bring the outside in. The boys were hesitant at first. It couldn't be as fun as outside snow, but alas, they thought inside snow was better than no snow at all. I took the big pancake turner I got Troy for Christmas and two pink hospital tubs from Ephraim's most recent visit over the summer(and to think Troy didn't think we needed to take the tubs home). I opened the sliding door and within a matter of minutes, we had a winter wonderland in our tub.
Being "snowed in" we have had to stretch our imaginations. I think Carson is actually wishing that he could go back to school, but I don't think he would admit it. We have tried a few other things including building a castle out of sofa and other pillows, art work and baking. See pictures below.
As a side note when we had finished building the pillow castle, Ephraim was inside it and said "Brother, now we need our Bible. We need our Bible for our castle". I handed him his blue Bible (gift from Cousin Carol Ann) and he seemed to think all was complete. He did later ask for his glasses case. He was going to lay down in his castle and he doesn't wear his glasses while he sleeps.
Speaking of sleeping, prayers are being answered. Ephraim slept in his own bed until 6:30am. Carson has been back in his own bed too. God is helping us see that we can help the boys be independent in other ways too. Thanks be to God!
