But February started off with the inhabitants of casa Allgreene suffering from cabin fever. Madeline and I have been working on a project in the basement, where we keep sundry oddities as well.
The first week of February marked the second of three consecutive weeks with at least one day of school and office closures. The snow has been piling up, the outdoor temperature has featured near-record cold temperatures, and it's been getting tougher and tougher to keep busy inside.
Play-Doh helps!
And so does the project I mentioned above: we hope to finish this little free library around the time the snow clears, and then to mount it to the tree in the front yard.
Sometimes, though, we're just stir-crazy.
On one of these terribly cold days, we decided, of course, that it was time for Madeline to get a hair cut.
When the braid came out, her hair was crazy.
The weekend before Madeline's birthday, we brave the snowy streets and went to a midday kiddo dance party at a club in downtown Providence. The kids had a blast.
One of Oliver's strategies for dealing with being snowed in has been reading. He loves parking himself on a chair with a good book.
Here's our backyard the week before Madeline's birthday.
And here's a picture that Summer took of the frozen Providence River.
