we also had to find clothes for the kids to wear. we don't spend much time out in the snow and the mittens i purchased for cassie 4 months ago have disappeared. but the snowsuit fits her, and so do the boots. wyatt on the other hand, well, let's just say i'll be shopping sales this spring for 4T snow stuff. nevertheless, i was really proud of our little snowman, and proud that no one got hurt...
you see, one time, when i was in high school and my siblings were in college (or out of college, i think) we built a snowman. at least, i remember it being a snowman but when i try to get an image in my head, i'm not really sure what it was. but we'll go with snowman, more traditional. and my creative siblings thought, let's get some spray paint and to really jazz him up. it worked great for a while until the spray paint got clogged. and rachel decided the best way to fix it would be to jab at it with a toothpick. while holding the can as close to her face as possible she pushed down on the nozzle and spray paint went everywhere, including her eyes.
911!
have you ever called 911? they're pretty fast. and pretty nice. the ambulance came and the guys walked into the house, commenting on the snowman out front. they took a look at rachel, i can't remember if they flushed her eye out (we had already done that ourselves) but they seemed to think she would be fine and left not long after they arrived. when we went back outside we saw the snowman was surrounded in yellow "do not cross" tape. we felt a lot better knowing our neightborhood would be safe from the snowman.
boy, it's a good thing our parents were home...

Nice snowman...he is so small and cute. Abbie loves building snowmen too, which actually means, dad builds the snowman. I am a fellow snow fort enthusiast, but snowmen are important too. The size and apperance of your snowman reflects the type of person you are. Tom had better spend the next several snow days working on the art of building snowmen. I expect at least four quaility snowmen every winter! Maybe we can compare snowmen?
So fun! Your kids are adorable. We actually got 17 inches over Christmas here in Portland! Typically 2 inches is a lot for us so you can image the city basically shut down. Great to see pics of the family.
little sis...you forgot one big part of the snowman story. rachel was in pain, but was actually more concerned about looking bad for the firemen. imagine that, she cared how she looked even in an emergency!
