The white stuff

It finally happened! Snow came to Arkansas- not on Christmas but closely after. The boys were excited and wanted to go outside immediately. Preston had a list of things he wanted to do as soon as he saw that white stuff falling from the sky. He wanted to make snowballs to throw at dad, catch snowflakes on his tongue and make a snowman. Porter didn't have a list but he was desperate to do whatever brother was doing, but mean old mom wasn't letting Mr. Sicky go outside. Preston, on the other hand, had gathered all he could find as far as cold weather gear goes and was ready to go outside. I opened the door, he felt the chilly air and looked at me with a very concerned look and said, "it's too cold out there!" To that I replied "that's how you get snow!" And Pushed him out the door. He liked it once he was out there especially when daddy came home and announced it was snowman making time.

I would like to introduce you to Jolly Rogers - our newest addition to the family.
* update: due to warming temps Jolly rogers is no longer with us. He was a delightful, happy snowman that was able to give so much joy to everyone he encountered. May you rest in peace Sir Jolly Rogers.
