Trick or Treat Street with a side of snow...
The living room window photo revisited the next morning.
I swear there used to be lots of big beautiful bushes in our yard. They were covered in pretty leaves that just started turning red. 
The view from the front of our building this morning. :( No fair! nearly 2 feet of snow in the city, nearly everyone else gets a snow day, but not us. 
Luckily Jesse headed out to the car with out me and scrapped her off and warmed her up. What a good guy. Reminds me of my dad.
Jesse attempting to scoop off some of the walkway. We both cleared a path behind the car, so we could get out of our parking spot this morning. We were definitely drifted in. Poor car. We wish you could stay a summer car forever, but sadly you are our only car and we live in Colorado and we don't have a garage. 
The Museum van was buried too. Most cars looked like marshmallows all day and still do. Most people were smart enough to stay home and enjoy the day at home where it's warm.
A view from one of the museum's windows over looking the parking lot after they scrapped it. To bad it kept snowing all day. I'm still not sure it's stopped snowing.
A view on the museum's balcony. Please compare and contrast with yesterdays shot of nearly the same view. 
With the big scary flu bug going around the museum has spared no expense in trying to stop the spread of germs. Healthy Habits stations have sprung up all over the museum in the last month. They seem to be loved by the public, because they are always being used and we've had no outbreaks of sickness, so far. 
So today we decade day... Luke and Dana were real troopers and actually dressed up. Most folks didn't, because they had to face the storm. Please! I dressed up still with minor modifications to my outfit of course.
Sort of an 80s look. I was originally slated to be an 80s homecoming queen, which I am still hoping to be on Saturday for the Ideal Father's Party, but the storm had me making last minute weather adjustments to my outfit. I wore tight pants rolled up with my neon socks and funky tennis shoes from last year. I also wore some pantyhose underneath it all to keep in some warmth. I figured a dress and heals probably wouldn't work on a day like today.
My 6 bracelets annoyed me so much through out the day, but they really helped keep me in character. I also sported some dangly earrings and a big scarf wrapped in a giant bow on my head. 
Peter came as Fred Flinstone. Well I guess he didn't come into the museum looking like this, but you have to give the guy props for wearing that when it was arcticly cold today.
The Monster Carnival was supposed to be outside on the plaza, but that idea was scrapped due to the weather, so they moved some of the activities inside. Like the monster bean bag toss.
Like I said very few staff dressed up, but luckily enough the front desk girls were showing their holiday spirit. 
Little Critter was there to save the day. He is here all of TOTS and is supposed to be attending all the story times. Unfortunately today we didn't have any volunteers to bring him to life. Over 1/2 of them called in and enjoyed there snow day. Lucky for us we have an awesome new porter named Vanessa, who saved the day... I mean story time. 
Some Monster Bats. One of the craft activities during TOTS. These are some of the examples kiddos made today.
One of my favorite costumes thus far. A mom mad this little puppy costume out of an old stuffed animal. It was hilarious, because the legs are so short and ever time he walked he waddled. The waddling made his bottom swing and his puppy dog tail wag. It was one of the cutest things ever. I actually took video of it, but my video quality is poor. I really just wanted Jesse to see what I was talking about. It makes me smile just thinking about it. 
So far this little guy is my hands down winner for the cutest costume. He was a lawn gnome. He's a toddler and a total cutie. Mr. Personality to boot. The funny thing is... like his auntie said "If he wasn't wearing the hat with the beard you might just think he was a nerd." Love it!
