November 22nd:

“Mommy, it’s bitter cold out there.”

“Look how snowed the deck is!… Poor termites. I said poor termites because of the snow… Will it make a cool sound when it stops snowing?”

“How will it get unsnowed?… When will it melt?… I got an idea! I can just use my rain boots cause snow is just frozen rain.”

That night, we ventured forth into the backyard!…


“Mommy, I’m going to throw a snowball at you–right in the NOSE!!!”

Aaaaaaahhhhh!!!

“Mommy, are you okay?!?”

Oh, yes! I only scream because it makes your brother laugh.

“Okay, good!… In that case, why don’t you get her again, big brother!”

Aaaaaaaaahhhhh!!!

“I’ve fallen and I can’t get up.”




Peepah. Sweetly observing the chaos from the warmth of the kitchen.

“What in tarnation is this blasted contraption?”

“Pull us, Mom! It’s a snow train!”

“Whee! Keep going, Mommy!”

The next day, with our neighbors!…

“This is my first time sledding!!!!”

“Whoo-hoo!!!”



“Now with my neighbor, Joshua!!”





Okay, Bubbers. Your little brother has finally warmed up to being out here. Let’s give him a turn on the sled.

“This is my first time sledding, too!!!”



What did you think, Scooty-tots? Would you like to go again?

“Sure!! Now I’ll go with Bubbers!”







“Oh, man, this is fun! I hope it snows like this again!!”
