It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas...


One would think that after growing up on a warm, tropical island, the idea of living in a place that could possibly have snow would be last on the "places to live" list. Especially after it took 5 hours to drive 11 miles home!!! But insanely, while humming along to Christmas tunes, the only thing on my mind was the legion of snow people I would build as soon as I got home.

Meet "Cool Beans" , "Balls Mcgee", and "Boop". Making them was not as easy as I thought. To make a snowman, you start with a baseball sized snowball, and roll, and roll, and roll, and...you get the picture. Until it becomes the size of a beach ball. The only one that got rolled into anything was Balls Mcgee and he only got as big as a baby's head. The rest of them were carved out of a packed mound of snow.

Now all that's left are their melted corpses. Next year I'll be ready. I'll call in sick so I can spend all day making them!
