Anyone Need Some Snow?

We have plenty to go around. If you haven't heard we were hit by two huge storms over the past month and the snow just wouldn't stop falling. At first I didn't know what to make of it.


So let me just tell you a little bit about where I live before I continue on about the snow. I live in Brooklyn. I love me some Brooklyn. I've visited friends and family in other places. The big difference between where I live and where they live? The space. We don't have much of that in these parts. What does this have to do with the snow? I'm getting there. We don't have things like basements and attics. Now you might think this would be a bad thing but for me, it's great. See, when winter comes around and mommy and daddy have to put my summer toys away, they don't go far. Even my big wheel is just a closed door away.


Well that lasted just a couple minutes but those bobsledders looked like they were having fun so I wanted to try my own event. It wouldn't be the first time I created a new olympic event. So we may not have basements and attics but one thing we do have that my friends don't is a garage the size of department store.


Like I said, we had two huge storms and it was fun because the first came and went and completely melted before the second one came along. I mean things were back to normal around here like nothing had ever happened.


And then the snow came back. Get the snowpants on again!


The second time around we took a different approach to playing in the snow. Instead of thinking what the snow could do for me (racetrack for my big wheel) I thought of what I could do for the snow. The snow looked a little bored. It needed to come alive so we built a snowman. Now I had done this once before and the results were somewhat average. Not this time around. No way! But this snowman has a little story to him. I mean, everyone has a story. So he needed a nose. My friend's daddy made him a nose out of snow but then another friend of mine had their daddy bring out a carrot for the nose. So we were all set to give the snowman a more distinct nose when someone said perhaps the snowman could use a belly button. Sure, why not? I have one. You have one. Why shouldn't the snowman have one. So we gave him a belly button. But you have to understand, from my height that's as high as I could reach.


My snowman lasted a little less than a day. He melted. When daddy asked me what I wanted to make with the big pile of snow sitting in his place, I said a building. Why not? My contribution to making the building? Just the idea. I got tired and went inside shortly after I shared the idea with daddy. I didn't see daddy for another couple hours.


Two snow days already this year. Thankful for a reasonable Mr. Mayor in LANDEN'S WORLD!

I Came, I Saw, I Built a Snowman

We had snow the other day. For some reason, when it snows, all the normal rules go out the window and I can pretty much do whatever I want. It was great!


No rolling around in the dirt? Forget about it - I was rolling around all over the snow and dada showed me how to make snow angels. Well dada made one and then I ran through it. No throwing balls at other people? Forget about it! Dada and I were throwing snowballs at each other. I think he even tried to throw a couple at mama.


Then I helped dada build the snowman. Dada rolled the little snowball into a bigger snowball into a really big snowball into a huge snowball and that became our snowman. I helped him make the snowman nice and round.


I know there's a song about a snowman but we didn't exactly follow it because we used rocks for his eyes and nose and a stick for his mouth. If you ask me, I think our snowman looked a little scary. At least he was my height.


I had a good time playing in the snow. My little sister came outside too but she stayed all bundled up so I didn't get to play with her. Next time.


Waiting for the next snowfall so I can build another snowman here in LANDEN'S WORLD!
