new uses for swimming pool in basement.....




Once the snow started this morning, we headed out to the library to get some books (Lily wanted to read about pirates, and go on a treasure hunt). Then we headed across the street to play with zane and eli, since we were all snowed in. I think this is officially the most snow i've seen in my life, however i'm too tired of zipping lily up in her snowsuit to go outside for, um, 3 minutes.

Sooo, we brought the snow in! She and I had a great time building snowcastles in the living room, with absolutely no mess whatsoever!

I have to tell you that I have so shared your "bring the swimming pool out ... bring the snow in" rather than the "thirty minutes getting ready to go out ... ten minutes out ... back in ... wet, nasty clothes ... dryer on ... dryer off ... thirty minutes getting ready to go out ... ten minutes out ... back in ... wet, nasty clothes ... dryer on ... dryer off" routine.

Everyone thinks my daughter-in-law is BRILLIANT!! There is always a slight pause as they think it through, but then you see the light bulb go off!

I am so jealous I didn't think of this trick when Jason and Jenni were Lily's age! By the time Ashley came along, I could send her outside with Jason and Jenni!
