Snow day



The power
went out at
3:45 am.
The phone
rang at
5:15 to tell
us school
was closed.

Yeahhhh!!! We were
hammered last night
with several inches of
the white stuff. So, what
else do you do on a
snow day --



but play in the
snow! It was
perfect for packing,
so the kids
decided to go all out
and make
GIANT
snowballs.










































So big that Syd got
a little high-centered!


London didn't
want to wait for
the finished product,
so we made her
a mini-snowman.
Syd took a break
in her snow
arm chair,
handcrafted by herself.






And, here we have the
gigantor snowman,

"Hagrid, Jr."

(named, of course,
by Austin)
