Round Two!








This "winter" we have been hit hard with the freezing cold and the snow. Today was the second snow fall in 4 days! That is crazy for this part of the country. I seem to remember hearing the prediction for this winter was MAYBE one snow event on the valley floor. HA! It isn't even winter yet and they are predicting a few more snowy days up till Christmas Eve! Yikes! I am fighting a severe case of cabin fever! I need to get out of this house but I really don't want to take my kids out on the slippery roads just so I can assure myself that there are still people alive out there besides my family. Today was great snow for building snowmen. I put Drew to the task of rolling a head for our snowman and she ended up with a ball larger than the base I had made! Paul decided to see just how big he could make it so we ended up with a gargantuan snowman who towers over our 6 foot tall fence! I fear we will have a snowbuddy in our back yard for months to come. That guy will never melt!

OH MY THAT SNOWMAN IS HUGE! I predict he will be around well into January. Hey if it keeps snowing you should make a family for him to keep him company. I here you about cabin fever.

I LOVE your huge snowman! I had cabin fever bad yesterday, today it feels more like prison.

I wish the snow would stop. We have places to go over the next week and my parents are driving into town tomorrow. I was glad that I decided at the last minute to go to story time at the library on Tuesday, while the roads weren't so bad. Kirk and I also went shopping Monday and the roads weren't really that bad.

Wow you guys are true snowman builders. I am a snow grinch and our backyard is still pretty untouched.
