Silliness

 Thanks to Aunts and Uncles in Florida, we were able to make a huge snow fort with special snow block forms.  This was just the beginning that we created last night after only 2 inches of snow fell.  The next day, the cousins helped and it is now big enough for everyone to go inside.

 With such little snow, we had to get creative with our other sculptures.  SO...mini-snowmen.  The oldest cousin was inspired thinking they looked like an army.  In an effort to curb the "all large groups of beings must be out to demolish or attack", I suggested maybe they were a dance troop or sports team or a band.  The band was a hit.  So the guy in the back is playing the drums.  The one in the middle is playing a trumpet.  The one closest to the camera is playing a guitar.  See the leaf attached to the stick?  And the one facing the group is the conductor.  The three in the back are the back up singers.

 After getting the meal to the table tonight, this is what I saw as I looked across the table.  No intended silliness.  Just eating her meal with the napkin over her head.  And what is all over her face?  She just ate a pint of blueberries.

This is not silly at all but I'm kind of blown away that this beauty is only 5 years old.  Holy cow she is growing up.  We went ice skating again today and she is starting to really cruise around easily.  So cool!
