snowy day

It's snowing! Marcello let me pull an extra shirt on before the beloved baseball shirt as he was distracted by the fluffy flakes floating outside his window.

I am so relieved that I don't have to go into the city today. Statistics homework on sampling is my project today.

We are still not using our kitchen sink as we are figuring out the cause of the flooding down in 4K, 3K, & 2K. Because 5K does not have flooding we did not yank out our cabinets, countertop, etc in search of the problem. What a relief (even if just temporary)!

I wish I had taken photos of Olyvia's birthday party yesterday where there was face painting. Stella got the coolest ninja turtle mask. It looked very striking and was not at all princess-like. Marcello opted for a ladybug with 3 spots on one hand and a golden and yellow flower (very specific about his colors) on the other. He discovered marshmellows (the birthday girl actually calls him that) and ate quite a few candy stars too while decorating a cupcake. He and Henry tangled in a wrestling/love embrace and banged on the piano quite a bit. Sleet falling, I had dragged Marcello to the fiesta, and it was so worth that effort.
