Ice is nice

The kids were totally enthralled by the ice this week. While Allison enjoyed just just looking at these wonders of nature, Joel delighted in breaking them off, eating them, using them as a light saber.... He also got busy "cleaning" the play structure out back. He was outside for so long, and so quiet, I went to check on him. When I asked what he was doing, he replied, "I'm getting all the frozen off the playground!"
