Looks like the boys had a blast…leave it to Jason to do something urologically inappropriate on an innocent snowman!!! Too funny! I’ll have to say that the sledding looks a little bumpy due to the breakthrough of ground between your “dusting”…heehee! We are finally seeing the ground again out here…it’s been months!!!

My guys are both snorting and blowing noses today but we have pictures! Snow pictures. And that is worth a few days in bed. Dalton knew he was too sick to go with boyscouts today on a fossil dig in a strip pit. But Darby was easily convinced to stay home and stay warm.

ps the weather here, in Canberra, is wonderful. It’s wet. Just like you not getting much snow, we don’t get much rain. It’s settled in for the weekend I think and it’s so good. There is wet stuff falling from the sky!! It’s a miracle!

oh this was great. I just saw the photos on Flickr and asked what the snowman’s face was made out of. Now I know!

Milk and bread? Toast and cups of tea, Jodi! Duh. I have a pathological fear of running out of both and so frequently have an excess. When all else fails, one can dine on tea and vegemite toast. Here at any rate.

Amy, where were you BEFORE I trashed my cute gloves, hmmmm? Seriously, I wasn’t lying. I’ve seen maybe two or three snows that produced enough to build a full-sized snowman (we are all experts on building scale models off the tops of cars and fence posts). The only conclusion I can draw is that Al Gore is full of $@*#.

Oh! Oh! You southerners CRACK ME UP!! My husband wandered by, looked over, and said, “You don’t wear leather gloves in the snow!!!” I hit Target for snow pants a way long time ago. (It’s so darn cold in the morning waiting for the bus that my boys wear the snow pants even when there’s no snow on the ground, for warmth.) And what is that, a couple inches? But Husband and I were just talking about this (apparently all of Dallas is in the dark?)–for areas that aren’t used to the snow, you just don’t have the infrastructure, or plan, or whatever you’d call it, to deal with it, so of course a few inches is serious business!

(By the way, best I can figure, the milk and bread is for French toast. But that requires eggs, and we’re off eggs here at the moment…)
