We had the opportunity to borrow a home-made costume from some good friends, and it just happens that it allowed Ezra to dress up as one of is favorite animals – a lion. Full disclosure: the first time that he put on the costume he didn’t like it. It was hard to see his hands, it was a lot bulkier than his clothes, it was a little warm, and it had a tail that kept getting caught on things. But the longer that he was in it, he either started to like it or just got used to it. Either way, we all had a good time walking to our neighbors in the building and eating some candy (well, Ahna and I did. Ezra just enjoyed putting the candy in his pumpkin).

The great thing about Colorado is that even though we got nearly 30 inches of snow over the past couple of days, it was sunny and topped 50 degrees today. Ahna had a third consecutive day off (!) so we took advantage of it by just hanging out together….you know breakfast and lunch down at my parent’s house, a nap for all three of us, and a relaxing evening at home.

In the spirit of measuring horses by ‘hands,’ we have determined that this storm has dropped a little more than 1 Ezra of snow. By the end of the melting today, there is only about .5 Ezra left on the ground, and the streets and sidewalks are completely clear of snow and only wet due to melting.
