Meet the crew

One half of the crew quit halfway through and went inside to play Lego. The other half, with the help of about $500 worth of cold weather gear that doesn’t really get to pull its weight in our usual climate, pushed through and finished the job. I’ll let you guess which is which.

Ian’s First Snowman

There was actually a bit too much ice mixed in with the snow to make a proper snow man, so we rolled ONE ball and then we faked it.  Ian got to stick the arms in, which means this was just perfect as far as he was concerned.

“Mommy, we need another body.  There have to be two.”

“Look, I did it! I put it in!”

I found another arm! Here I come!

Big Snow…

…for Northern VA. No comparison to last year, thank goodness. Ian has informed us that he is all covered with Frosty Ice.

We’re fine with that, because, one year ago this week, we were digging our car out of the driveway without the aid of a snow shovel, trying to convince our two-year-old to help us by reminding him that “Rama’s got cookies!”

We’ll deal with the blanket of idiocy that descends upon NOVA residents when the first inch of snow accumulates… really.  It’s no big.   We’ve got shovels and snow melt this year- we’re good.
