What Should We Call Him?

I looked out the window to the layer of snow in the yard. The wind had created a blanket of pine needles and small branches that now covered the glistening white. I have been wanting to build a snowman but have either been sick with a cold.... or at work.

Now was my chance. I debated about the adventure, knowing it was cold and wet outside and I was warm and comfortable inside. But I really wanted a snowman. It didn't have to be big I told myself. Even a small one would suffice.

I slipped on the boots and zipped up my jacket. The rain had melted a few inches of snow and left a thin layer of ice. I smiled as it crunched beneath my boots. It was great snowball snow, packing easily and staying solid.

I began rolling the snow. Found just the right spot outside the livingroom window and began building. The second section went on easily and I carefully rounded his belly with my glove. Next came the head. I looked for some branches for his arms.

Before I knew it my little guy was finished. He may be small but it was so much fun!!

(I have to thank Kristin from Tales of Two Thirty Somethings (also called The Princess and the Tornado) and Polly from She is our Angel for helping me with my Blogging issues! I couldn't have done it without you both!)

Tiny Gloves

We've had a somewhat quiet week around here. We're gearing up for Thanksgiving outreach at church, but here at home, things are kinda boring.

And it's been kinda nice. :)

Beth had choir rehearsal this morning. They sing in the morning services next week and are also practicing for the Christmas concerts on the 18th.

Diana went to a salon to have her hair dyed this week but it didn't turn out the way she hoped. So she was in the bathroom late last night trying to blend the dark and the blonde better then the salon did. She went to work early this morning so I don't know how it turned out.

I babysat Allie on Wednesday. She is changing so fast. She talks all the time and doesn't stop moving! I bought her some little gloves and Beth helped her put them on before she left for karaoke.

It was cute to watch. Allie isn't quite two and would put more than one finger into a hole, and because Beth's fine motor skills aren't the best, it took her a while to move Allie's fingers into the right spots!

We got our first snowfall of the season last night. Nothing stuck but it's so exciting to watch it fall! I absolutely love the snow. 

Ho hum. Like I said, a quiet day today. Chuck is watching the game - Washington Huskys and Oregon Beavers. Of couse he's cheering for the Huskys.

Hope you all have a great weekend!
