the boys found to their dismay that their winter jackets were in the wash (don’t ask 😉 ), but meg gave them a bunch of giant pompoms and let them have an indoor snowball fight. emrys drew the short straw and had to use the girls pink table as his fort, so he covered it with a blanket so no one could see.
