Yesterday we were able to play outside. It was in the 50s but still with snow on the ground. The kids rode their bikes, chalked the driveway, and we watched our neighbors build a pretty terrific snowman.

The past few days, in the evening, we pile into the office that Bob and I share (when he works from home) and get out old printouts, and draw on the backs of them. This is my favorite that Eleanor has drawn:

It’s a cat and a snake. I don’t know who is more in trouble here, but I think it’s the cat.

There is a whole series of these really lovely drawings that are just strange and exploratory and very interesting. I’ll take some more photos and post them up. I love them.
