The Ant and the Grasshoppers

We had our first snowfall of the year the day before Thanksgiving, which we could enjoy since we weren’t traveling in it.  On Thanksgiving then, while Sean was slaving away in the kitchen making his glorious (truly! It was a masterpiece!) feast, Owen and I got bundled up:


Then we headed outside and made ourselves a miniature snowman.  Here he is when he was just the basics:


And then I went inside and stole a carrot from the chef to use as a nose.  So here he is with fancy nose yet still no arms:

 


The carrot nose was a big hit with Owen—he talked about that for a long time.  The stick arms were a big hit with Dorothy, and we had a hard time keeping her from stealing them and chewing them to bits.

And while Sean was cooking and Owen, Dorothy, and I were winter-wonderlanding, Tweedle-Dee and Tweedle-Dum were upstairs thusly:

We often have 5 cats on our bed. You'd think they were all freezing to death. Or perhaps suffering from sleeping sickness.

First snows are always exciting! I wouldn't mind if it snowed a lot more often here--as long as it's on days when I don't have to travel to work. Because driving 60 miles on bad roads kind of sucks.
