Snowball Forts



To our dismay, no snow! We only received rain and lots of it last night. At one point, a meteorologist said we might have a few inches of snow. Then it was changed to one inch. Two disappointed boys woke up in my house this morning. So we decided to have a snowball fight anyway. We threw off all the cushions of our sectional couch and built away. We made forts on separate sides of the living room and turned the small pillows into snowballs. Then Hannah and I sat back and watched the boys go at it! They even learned how to call time-out and time-in when the forts needed repair. We even changed the forts around to make 4 different ones they could run and hide in. The funniest moment was after Andrew nailed Ethan in the face with a "snowball" and started yelling, "I'm the man, I'm the man, I'm the man." Where did he learn that phrase? Who knows.

How sad for you :( We have about 6 inches and may get a couple more over the next couple of days.

Jason used to claim he was the man when we roomed in the same house & then I would have to pin him down like Macho Man Savage. LOL!!!

Haha- My dear aunt, you have too much time on your hands. And how it didn't end in someone getting hurt, a spanking, and a broken lamp? I suppose God only knows the answer. Love you.
