Snow Days

Today was a productive snow day - got the tree down and the Christmas stuff put away.  I'm starting to clean out the bookcases in the living room.  Thanks for the inspiration Shelly and Garett!

Thankfully we only got a few inches of snow overnight and since there is still a state of emergency in the city and county, we didn't go anywhere today and won't be heading out tomorrow either.  Schools and most everything else are closed for Tuesday as well.  Again, John Mellor Design is open for business!

Inspired by Ryan, we pulled out our game of  "No Stress Chess" this evening.  You set up the chess board and then draw a card which tells you which piece to move.  Grace beat me twice despite the fact that I had her in check several times.  It all depends on what card you draw!  She's thrilled.  "And I've never played chess in my life!  Never!"  I wonder who in the family is willing to play with her!  Grandpa?  Uncle Garett?  Ryan?

Here are a few photos from Sunday.  I wasn't willing to venture out today except to look for the paper and mail.  Incidentally, we got neither.

The last photo is Paul cuddled under his new quilt watching a movie on Sunday night.  Grandma finished the quilt for his bed.  He picked out the pattern and fabrics.

Grandma finished Paul's quilt.  He's trying it out.
