Toohig Tidbits: January

 




Grizz with the Words


And with Worth and Olivia!


HG bought herself a pogo stick







Life imitating art?






We got home from Anguilla Saturday night. We were expecting some snow on Sunday night/ Monday morning. Sure enough, it started snowing late that afternoon.


John had to bring in some reinforcements


And it kept coming...





And coming!





They were already out of school that Monday (1/15) for Presidents Day, but they ended up staying out of school until the following Tuesday (1/23). The streets were awful all week, made worse by freezing rain mid week. They could have gone back on Monday, but because of frozen/ burst pipes, the school had too low water pressure to come back on Monday. 









We got HG out of the house twice the whole week.



Up our cove






The neighborhood kids had a lot of fun!


And the mamas too!


John got to play a little on the bank holiday



Time for snow cream! We ate A TON over the week.




HG's second time outside. We walked all the way to our far cove to a big hill. This was a small hill she tried on our walk.


LOL


Big hill




Headed down our cove




Cressey was a sledding machine. She went down this driveway...



And into the yard across the street!


Down our cove


Cress and G having a big time sledding in our "macaroni" driveway (according to C)



Slumber party for both C and HG Tuesday night- the streets had a little break in the ice...until the next day...


Sunny was a very willing playmate that day




"Clean out your fridge" neighbor party


HG was asked to babysit a neighbor up that big hill on Thursday. I couldn't drive up it, so I parked at the bottom and watched her skate up it. (No laughing, I promise, kinda)


The snow was so fluffy all week that we couldn't build snowmen or snowballs with it. Finally, by Friday, it got a little bit more manageable. 



G and C made a tiny snowman


John flew back into town from LA on Friday, and he was treated to this view.




Saturday night, we got out to celebrate Jennifer's birthday at Grisanti's. A water boil advisory didn't hold us back!


















Grizzlies daddy-daughter date night with the LeMontes




While Mama snuck away for a roommate weekend in Oxford...







And HG was at a leadership retreat for school at Pinecrest







First time this kitten snuggled with me on the couch


Casual day!






Grandparents' Day





I heard his sniffling, but it took me a minute to figure out where it was coming from
