Michael cooked up a mass of delicious pancakes this morning to feed us all and Dennis enjoyed these as well as playing with his cousins and their extremely neat toys. After breakfast they played for quite a while (though Dennis took an hour nap in Mirella's crib at one point) before we adjourned to Gran's place to make lunch and then take naps.
The Carroccinos came over here for supper, some of David's homemade chicken noodle soup that we've been eating for its deliciousness as well as for its medicinal purposes. The kids enjoyed more hours of play together, climbing in and out of the Dishwasher Box Fort and playing in the blanket 'tents' we kept making. Dennis is having more trouble with pushing and got a number of time-out sessions in the portable crib whenever he tried it. I admit to being a bit embarrassed that he's such a bully! He's usually the one who gets pushed, so I suppose he's trying out his newfound assertiveness, but he's going to have to learn to behave nicely around other children. Let's hope the time-outs continue to work.
More snow is expected and so we fear that we'll be confined to the house for several more days. At least we got out to have breakfast with them this morning and had time to pick up some supplies (as in: replenish the dwindling Coca-cola supply and buy more cold medicine). So we're prepared for more of the same, snow and more snow. The pipes haven't frozen (save for the one supplying the cold water to the washing machine) and the heat is still working, so I suppose we're as snug and happy as we can be.
