Country Snow

The weather man said it was going to snow today. I sure hope he is right. In case he is, I got dressed up for the weather. Snazzy is not a strong enough word...

I asked my brother if it had snowed. He can't talk, so he looked out the window and gave me this face. He makes the same face when he hears the word 'banana'.

A wintery wonderland! My dad started making a snowman while I touched snow without crying for the first time in my life (see "Brr..." Jan 2009; "Snowblower" March 2008; "White Dawn" Dec 2007; "Snow Bunny" Jan 2007).

Our snowmen started to take shape with the three of us working hard. Suddenly, my dad said "Oh snap!" and he stayed in this position for the rest of the day.




Add a bit of celery and carrots...wa-lah. We have the best snowmen I have ever made!

Later on after my brother went in for a nap and my dad went in for traction, I finished the snowfamily. I am holding what is soon to be the head of the last one!


Clever readers will notice that I made a clothing substitution at one point during my snow day. What was the substitution?

This was hilarious - loved the same face as I make for bananas, and John needing traction. So clever.

I think you changed your hat, M.

I laughed at the, "Oh Snap!" sorry about your dad needing traction, though. That is most unfortunate.

Great snow family M! Both you and JC look very cute.

Please tell you mom that Mike just got called to be the Seminary teacher again. He is a bit nervous...he said he was a lot younger and more spry when he taught your mom.
