I know Valentine's Day is just around the corner, but we just had another major snow storm. My grown sons went outside to "play in the snow" and snapped this photo. It's been a long time since we have had a snowman in our yard so I rushed out to see it! lol! It's only about 24" high. Still, very cute boys!
Just curious, big boys or little boys? My big boys (including Hubby) are acting like little boys in the snow! However, IIII don't have a snowman. YOU must be special!
Toooooo fun! As much as I can't stand Winter. I still play in the snow and even sled ride. You're never to old to do anything. I'm 44 and still think I'm a teenager. If you need more snow we surely can send some your way anytime. Straight from PA to you!
I couldn't believe all the snow we got two weeks ago, then the sunshine and 60s this weekend. Thinking this summer we may make a SunMan all decked out in shades and a Hawaiian shirt.
I love fabric from the 30-50's, old paper such as postcards, magazines, old Christmas, well I guess anything old!! I also love to scrapbook and like vintage graphics from the 30-50's. I have a brick and mortar store in historical Kimmswick, Missouri, located on the banks of the Mississippi River.

ReplyDeleteBIG BOYS!! Ages 22 and 28! Still my babies though! lol!
ReplyDeleteThat's a great little Frosty ... it's so much fun when your grown kids surprise you with a little silly play.
