Another storm

Yesterday afternoon, the whole family was outside preparing for yet another snowstorm. I was breaking up ice on the driveway so at least we were starting with a decent base for this new 22-28" accumulation (estimates of which are now increasing!).

Tucker was helping Austin bring kindling and firewood onto the porch to keep our stove going and our kitchen toasty. As he was going up the stairs, carrying a stick we heard him narrating his actions, saying "Here comes a logging truck!" or something to that effect.

Pretty cute.

Ben and Tucker continue to act like siblings. At mealtimes Ben tries to get Tucker's dropped food and will push Tucker's chair around, and Tucker gets really mad and yells for me to make Ben stop. Ben tries to steal toys, mittens, ANYTHING out of Tucker's hand, and Tucker pulls right back. When Ben does have a non-dog item in his mouth, Tucker gets very indignant and insists I right the wrongs of the world.

Today, Ben was having a ball outside (I think he truly loves the snow--he goes out in it every other minute during storms) and turned into a snow wolf, meaning he got really excited and started running around like a crazy dog. He picked up some big sticks and ran around with them, then lay down to eat them more thoroughly. When he was done, Tucker went over to one of the sticks and bent over and tried to eat it too. I wish I could've gotten that on video
