Okay, so I have a funny story to tell. Yesterday in Powhatan we received a good amount of snow. Rusty put a little bug in Kaileigh's ear, before he left for work, that it would be a great idea if Mommy took you and Aubrie outside to build a snowman. I tried and tried and tried to avoid going outside( it was in the 30's!) but Kaileigh insisted. After bundling up the girls, I though to myself, great, what am I going to do with Aubrie. She can only crawl and she'll freeze if I let her crawl on the ground. So I came up with a brilliant idea. I grabbed an empty laundry basket and put her in it. This worked great until she started falling over "0). So between picking her up and putting her back in the basket, Kaileigh and I proceeded to make a snowman. You wouldn't believe it, as soon we put the arms on him, which were made out of sticks, who comes along but Journie and torn one of them off. So now we had a one armed snowman. Next, we needed a mouth for the snowman so Kaileigh went inside to find something. She came out with a square looking pretzel which when we put it on him, he reminded me of Hannibal Lecter. Than I thought it would be cute to put some candy hearts down his front in celebration of Valentines Day. Wouldn't you know, when I cleaned Journie off to come inside she had bits of candy hearts on her. So much for our adorable snowman. Next time I think we're going to have to put it in the laundry basket instead of Aubrie "0). I'll try to post pictures tonight after the girls go to bed "0).
