Kids spending calories

Inside a nice quincy


Manon and Bonnie have been doggedly shoveling snow into a big pile to make a quincy. School was cancelled today and that was all the encouragement they needed to start digging.

I saw Adriana heading out with them, but thought nothing of it. Usually she's one to last for the first ten minutes or so and then heads off to do her own thing. I'm not quite sure what that is exactly, but whatever it is she does a lot of it.

I went out at noon to see what handy work had been done. I crawled in the doorway and had quite a surprise. There was Adri, busy with a weapon of choice, carving carefully away at the half meter walls. The snow sculptures outside were her handy work too. Excellent!

It was masterfully constructed. They would block up the doorway so it was dark enough to gauge the wall thickness by the amount of light seeping through. Oh the patience paid off wonderfully. Manon went out after lunch and cleaned up the interior base to increase further the sense of uniformity in design. I think everyone is sleeping well now. < g >

Megan is finally finished being in heat I think... hope. Tom's pretty darn interested regardless of acceptance. Neither one of them has long for the baby making option. I'm making the vet call tomorrow.
