Snow!

Believe it or not, this is our first actual snow this winter. It was only an inch or two, but we seized the day!

Here we have the Emperor sledding west with Leena and Choclo.


Here we have Choclo and Zorg using the "turtle shell" sleds on the southern slope.




Here Klenda and Zorg are building a snow fort with brick snow molds.



Here is Mxyl working on the same project. If you are wondering how large a fort could possibly be built with only an inch or stwo of snow, well... Not large in height. I think it was only one brick high all around, but it was an expansive fort.



And lastly, here we have your daily Oob report. What has Oob massaged into his scalp today?

Cream of mushroom soup.

You may ask: Why does she let him eat smearable food?

I may answer: What else is there? The kid rubbed his head with a bagel this morning.

You may ask: Why doesn't she stop him before he smears?

I may answer: Well he ate 6 (small) bowls before he even thought of using it for shampoo and then I started eating and talking and then we were punning and then... there he was and he was so happy... And, anyway, you must admit, he has remarkably regular baths.
