Making the most of snow days!

We've had some pretty crazy weather lately, including a "polar vortex" that left the Queen City in single-digit temps: yikes!! Accordingly, we've had to work hard at staying busy in order to avoid the inevitable cabin fever that comes with missing several days of school.  Here are a few pics, so you can see how we've been spending our snow days!

Playing at OZO Play Cafe! It's close to our house, full of toys we don't own, and often we have it all to ourselves! AND I can always get a piping hot cup of raspberry tea while the kids play and play and play...
Assembling the beds that Beth and I grew up with, so the kids could have real bed frames to sleep on. The frames belonged to my great-grandparents Julius and Carol. They were a big hit...Brie actually asked, "Is that just for me??"  ;-)
"Hello? Granddaddy Rob? We love the special beds from your grandparents!"
Bedtime just got more fun!
Sledding!!
And then eating a yummy lunch with rosy cheeks!
Assembling and playing with a very cool marble roller-coaster toy that Gammy gave us!
Finding Africa in an atlas AND in a dinosaur book!
Finally getting out (to the Cincinnati Zoo) on a "warm" day = mid-to-upper 30's!
Visiting the dentist for our annual check-ups!
Brie LOVES the dentist!!
Donning UVa gear since our basketball team rocks this season!
Modeling striped tights that Gammy found in Florida!
Putting together lots of puzzles!!
Heading out for ballet class!
And including your big brother since he has a snow day. :-)
There's a rundown of our last two weeks. It's chilly out, but we're having fun!!
