virginia has its storms...

did you hear, dc got clobbered with the biggest snow storm in years yesterday! and we heard about it coming days before. on sunday afternoon, joey and i left henry with our neighbor to run some errands for an hour or so and we regretted every second of it, because t.r.a.f.f.i.c! every dc and northern virginia resident was out stocking up for the big "storm". and storm of a life-time it was, too (sarcasm). almost 6 inches we got, and it fell in a beautiful sprinkle all day long. not the treacherous event the locals made it out to be, but we're used to winters like these growing up in the midwest, so when joey got to stay home with h and me yesterday because of weather we kind of went, "uh... okay. we'll take it!"

so we scratched off a few essentials from our to-do in honor of an extra day with daddy. we cleaned the mansion, re-organized henry's clothes (hello 6 months clothes!), and top on the list, transitioned henry to his big boy crib in his very own room. that last one, it was ugly. poor huck spent the day with his dukes up and in utter disgust of his parents for daring to lay him in such an unfit sleeping environment. and can you blame him?

it's positively ghastly in there! so the three of us fought it out all day, and when it came time for mommy to sleep for more than the 15 or so minutes henry was averaging through the day, i was less than excited to get started on our tournament of champions. my odds were r.e.a.l low. but in a crazy plot twist that i'm still not sure i completely believe, my darling child slept straight through the night in his new quarters. miracles do happen, and i would really owe ya one if you shot up a prayer or two for us regarding tonight because two nights in a row just wouldn't be real life.

and between the nap taking and floor scrubbing, we captured a few memories worth sharing...

but really this one isn't from yesterday... i just like it quite a lot :)
