There was no unit to go with the 88 snow but according to Colin it is a lot and that's how much more he wants. He would have been happy with just a dusting. Once it got above his ankles the tractors were hard at work outside 'tractoring' snow.

There was more snow, but we just stopped taking pictures of that....Mommy and Daddy are done with the snow for the year.

Hobie was also very excited about going out in the snow. We think she is part gopher or something. She burrows and gets her whole head under the snow. Both Hobie and Colin are going to be categorized as anti-shovelers since they loved to play right where the snow was just removed...which added a bunch to that spot. Daddy had a good workout this month.
February was generally uneventful. Colin had a play date at the beginning of the month. Trampolines are quite fun, but only tried by himself. There had to be no one else on it or looking like they would be getting on it for him to give it a go. He's a very patient and polite boy...most of the time.
Trains seem to take up a majority of play time. He loves building tracks and having his trains work. The conversations that go on between trains are quite entertaining. it usually involves who is the fastest, strongest or the most busy. The train track has also brought on a lot of screaming tantrums when tracks fall apart or don't work just like he wants. This is where the patience isn't always there. Loud screams that should be reserved for broken bones are heard occasionally.
