More Snow!

It just keeps on snowing. I can't say I am disappointed. The absence of yard work is a luxury I am appreciating right now. Last week brought a terrible respiratory illness my way with fever, chills and body aches like I have never experienced. I was bed ridden for a few days, but I have returned having great empathy for chronically ill people and thankful for my usual good health. The kids have been taking it easy also. We bought Maddy a blow-up bed for our next trip in May. It will be a year since our last trip and at that time she could easily fit in a pack-in-play. This time we decided she would be more comfortable in a blow- up bed. I used the little pump included in the package to try it out and Caedon added some finishing touches with pillows and his quilt. They look so snugly...

I am actually quite impressed. I did not expect it to be as roomy or as easy to deflate and pack back in it's little bag. Caedon wanted us to buy one for him, but his feet barely fit inside the little rim of the bed. He will have to settle for the big bed at the hotel. We will see if Maddy is as enthusiastic about her bed without her brother in it.
