We’ve Been Dumped On

Now, this is more like it.  Snow, snow, everywhere you step.  We finally got dumped on and I don’t have to shovel it.

That’s what kids are for.

.

Hey, Greyson.  How’s all that hard work coming?

Back breaking, physical labor and all?

Ring a bell?

Sawyer’s out here helping too, isn’t he?

.

I guess he’s too busy to comment.

I see a replay of Ralphie and A Christmas Story.

.

Speaking of Christmas, we have yet to undress our front hedges.

These are all-season lights. We’re waiting for Easter.

.

This is why the kids are out here.  They’re using the shovels to build a fort.  We really pay a service to shovel our driveway–you just can’t believe everything you read on the internet. I could take these pictures and make them say anything.

But I would never do that.

.

“Hey Mom, I just wanted to say thanks for having those fresh blueberry crepes with whipped cream waiting on the table for us this morning. I don’t know how you did that and your exercise bike all before 5am!”

.

That’s really sweet of him to sing my praises but you want to know how to tell if they really love you?

.

When they tire of snow fort building and decide to venture around the corner to the treat store,

will they remember that a Skor bar is your favorite?

Do they even think of you at all, now that they are out of your sight?

.

Why, yes. Yes they do.

Not that I would eat this whole double bar, mind you.

But it can be crushed up and put in your chocolate chip cookie dough.

.

Happy Monday, everybody!

    We finally had snow here this weekend too. I don’t count the ridiculous mess we had in October since technically it was fall. Skor bars in cookie dough. Oh my. Yum!

    You made blueberry crepes AND exercised before 5 a.m.? What a coincidence! Me too!

    At least that’s what I would like the internet to believe.

    Funny post!

    I would totally eat the bar. All at once. And then wish for more. This is why I NEED to exercise before 5am and beyond.

    OMG! That Skor bar is HUGE! So jealous. Of the Skor and the snow. I’m in freaking Minnesota and it’s been so warm we haven’t been able to sled or ice skate once this year. No fair.

      Wow, you’re kidding! And I thought it was just Canada. A Skor bar is amazingly helpful in getting one through snow droughts (in case you weren’t privy to that fact). Thanks for stopping by, Melonie!
