Ice and Elephants

So that snowman I promised? Yeah, it didn't work out. We spent over a hour trying to make a snowman because I haven't made a snowman since I was this old (yes that is really me):


Justin has NEVER EVER made a snowman!!

But...apparently we did not have the right kind of snow to make a snowman?? There is something called "packing snow" and we did not get that. So our Snowman = FAIL

At least we still managed to get a cute family picture:


And we braved the cold, ice, snow to go to the CIRCUS Saturday night. Because as they say, "THE SHOW MUST GO ON!!". The roads were really scary as you can see:

But it was worth the scare because I love the circus!!!
Can you tell by my shirt which part of the circus was my favorite??
Those elephants made me giggle like a little school girl!
Between playing in the snow and going to the circus, I felt like a little kid again this weekend and it was SO MUCH FUN!

Hope you had a good weekend too!

  6. Yay! What fun photos. Especially that family photo. I know what you mean about "packing" snow--it needs to be just the amount of wetness or it doesn't stick together! No fun when you want to make a snowman. :) But the circus! I'm jealous!!

  12. Aw, that picture is so cute!! We have plenty of that "packing snow" up this way. My husband is in South Carolina now..and Sunday he called to tell me that NO on down in the Carolinas knew how to drive in the snow/ice and that there was no real snow removal/plow trucks! It was good for him to see that not all of the US prepare for snow/ice storms like we do in New Engalnd. He is dissapointed a bit though because he expected it to be warmer down there! :)
    I love THE Circus! SO fun!

  15. Ooooh elephants are SOOO smart and sensitive, it makes me sad to see pics of them doing all that at the circus. Like, REALLY sad :-( on a happier note, though, that family pic is darling!
