Miscellaneous stuff, including sleet

We got about an inch of sleet/freezing rain during the past 24 hours. We may yet get close to 10 inches of snow, but so far the worst of the latest winter storm has passed us by, which is fine with me because I wasn't looking forward to potential power outages that come with ice.

We played outside a bit this afternoon, and then Megan had fun with a big bowl of snow I brought in. I gave her a little bucket, shovel, and some people and animals, and she went to town.

 She was preoccupied with getting her little people dried off.

Also, the other day, Megan wrapped a blanket around herself and declared she was Mary with baby Jesus.
