What is this lil' man doing?
Why is he outside with a squirt bottle?
He's painting the snow, of course.
Yes, we painted the snow! Cheap (96 cents) squirt bottles, water and food coloring make the perfect snow toy, and Grammy and Grandad had the prettiest snow on the street!
Excuse the dark pictures. It was late afternoon when we were outside, and these were taken before I knew about the 18% gray (ha, ha).
A work of (cold) art, don't you think?
Cash even made some colorful snowballs. When he threw them at the trees, it left art all over the tree bark, too. (Yes, he has mittens, and no, he doesn't like wearing them.)
We couldn't be outside in the snow without doing some sledding, too.
For those of you who have asked how the house building is going -- the answer is: slowly. With all these days of snow and freezing temperatures, pouring concrete and laying block and brick haven't been possible. So instead of starting the framing on Tuesday like we had planned, this is what we have right now ...
It goes to show that God's plan is sometimes different than our own. Which is alright. Besides, if we didn't have all this snow lately, I wouldn't be making snowy memories with my sweet Cash.
He gives snow like wool; He scatters the frost like ashes.
- Psalm 147:16
