Hudson is trying to murder us in our sleep.

This morning Hudson succumb to his baser instincts and managed to pull a 8oz tub of butter off the counter and some meat scraps out of a pan that was on the stove top. While going after the meat the little bastard turned on one of the gas burners. He didn't manage to ignite it though. Patty was assaulted by the pungent odor of LP gas as she came down the stairs. I don't think it had been on that long, but long enough to make the first floor an explosive hazard. Thankfully the gas didn't leak into the basement. Fifteen minutes with the doors and windows open flushed the gas out of the house. It would have been a very exciting way to wake up if the compressor motor under the fridge had lit it off though.

To his credit he did manage to get to the meat without pulling the Pyrex dish off the stove top, and the butter tub was licked clean. He leaves no mess when he steals food. This is the second tub of butter in about three weeks. His cholesterol numbers must be off the chart.

The face of a killer?

White powered fun stuff... (Not Coke)

We had a huge snow storm this weekend. Total snow fall was around 2 feet, maybe a bit less. When I plow out the drive way I try and push a bunch of snow next to the garage so the kids have a "mountain" of snow to play on.

Here's a bunch of photos of the little monsters playing.

Towering over the world.


That pile of snow is almost six feet tall.


I'm growling at Matthew to get him to smile.


A perspective shot. That car under all that snow is the green Jeep.


Madi and Hudson.


Matthew traumatized by the snow on his cheek.


The radio weather man said something about another system moving across the country that should hit us in ten days or so. If it hits as predicted we should see another large snow fall.
