Winter and early spring

Lying on their snow "bunk beds".

Here is Karl, counting to 100 at age 3.  The things you learn when you have a sister in kindergarten.

If you couldn't hear clearly, he's saying "1, 2 skip a few, 99, 100.  Can I see it?"

Clapping for herself after building a block tower.

 Clare had a snow day on Leap Day.  She had a great time staying at home and playing with her siblings.  (Although when she first woke up and found out there was no school, she wanted to go to school.  Of course.)

Clare's multi-story hotel, complete with "swimming pool".

Snow day lazy morning with couch forts.

Nora with her favorite bunny and blankie.  

And.... spring!  Or what felt like spring, with temperatures in the mid-60s.

Hunting for Easter eggs in the snow.  (Clare's idea.)

Karl was still congested and tired from being sick and had to be dragged outside.  Once out, he loved it.
