Mr. Snowman

Probably the highlight of the day.....
making a snowman.







And a mighty fine looking snowman he was.

Snow Play - Part 1

This last weekend we snuck away for a quick trip to the snow.
How lucky are we to be so close to such a great winter playground?
We took Geema and Papa with us and headed for the hills.
Luckily, I bought a jacket extra big last year,
and we squished the feet into snowboots one size too small
and headed out to play.


I can't tell you how funny the following was
and unfortunately I didn't take a picture that adequately sets the scene.
But there were two of these contraptions that each took a dozen kids on a ride
around and around and around.
With their bums firmly squished inside the inner tube,
they were pulled round and round in circles
by a machine with four long posts
each with three kids and inner tubes attached.

First time around Sof was on the inside track 
and this was about the extent of her excitement.


Second time, Daddy put her on the outside loop which traveled
a little faster much to the delight of our speed demon.



Gotta tell ya.....
sure beats me trying to pull her through the snow.

Jeeves

Jeeves,
our first baby
and now almost 16 years old
had been losing weight and not looking the best.

One trip to the vet,
a prescription for some fancy (read expensive) food
and a month later
he has gained back the pound and a half (a lot for an 8 pound cat) he lost
looks terrific
and has his spunk back.

And much to the delight of Sofia
is constantly looking for a warm lap to snuggle up on.

Advice

"Mama.....
your hair is a disaster"
"Tomorrow, you will get up,
take a shower,
soapy scrubby your hair,
and make it flat".

Really?????
Am I supposed to take fashion advise from someone who dons a get up like this one?
