Winter, snowmen, fun times!

It's been a long winter for us, seems like a week doesn't go by that we don't have winter storm warnings.  Some are blown out of proportion, but then sometimes they turn out worse than expected.
Here's a cute meme I've been seeing from friends.




There are things to enjoy about winter though.  It can be so beautiful!  And then there are fun things like sledding and snowmen.
When we dropped the girls off on Saturday, they wanted us to see their snowmen.



It's hard to really see them, because they were snowed on so their features aren't very visible.  However, they said this is Mr and Mrs Snowman, and Mrs Snowman is pregnant.  You can see she has a larger stomach!  They said they next time they make snowmen, or snow people, there will be a baby snowperson out there too.  :)





Near their house is this house which builds a huge snowman every winter. The sign next to him says "Receive Jesus and have eternal life".


Those things make me smile in the middle of winter!


On another note, I'll be missing from your blogs today, as I have to have a colonoscopy and an endoscopy Tuesday morning.  Nothing serious, just a check but it will probably have me away from my computer for most of the day.

Hi Mari. It will be good to get that colonoscopy over and done with! I love these cute snowmen. The big one has a great message for everyone who sees him! God bless that everything goes smoothly on Tuesday!

How right you are Mari,
we must look for the good even in the difficult ones!!
How beautiful to make a snowman in the snow!!
Have a nice day!

The huge snowman is so impressive, and a good way to get attention to what you want to say. The girls have a lot of creativity with their snowmen. Let us know your test results. I feel for you, the colonoscopy prep is so awful!

That snowman is just so gorgeous.

Hope your colonoscopy goes well .
The girls family snowmen is very funny.
The big one must have taken time to build it! I have heard on tv that you will have very cold temperatures and heavy snow. Stay warm inside. Hope everything goes well for you.

You brought back a memory. In the winter of 1957/1958 we had a snowstorm in Michigan City Indiana and got about 3 ft overnight with drifts higher than that. School was closed, in my memory) for 2 weeks. Adults probably didn't like this but I was a little girl and I was in heaven. I remember after the snow plows went through on some of the roads the snow was up as high as the telephone poles were high. And I remember one day daddy hooking our sleds behind his truck and driving us down the road and what a fun memory that is.
Now that I'm older I just stay in when it snows. Looking out the window it's beautiful but getting out in it is not my idea of fun anymore. I hope yours melts quickly and you can go back to looking forward to Spring and the tulips popping up out of the ground .

Snowmen= fun
Colonoscopy/Endoscopy=not so fun. I know you will be glad when they are done. Hope all goes well and you are back to blogging soon.

I love snowmen. They are fun. Hope Tuesday goes well for you and your home back in action in no time.

Such cute little snowmen and women! A baby snowman would be precious! I hope everything goes well with your tests and you are feeling good as new tomorrow!

Dianna said...

Loved the girls' thinking about the snow family. I'll look forward to seeing the snow baby. :)

Praying for you today, my friend. xx

Uh Oh, you are probably doing your colonoscopy now as we speak, or it may be over and you are recovering. Either way, the worst part is already over (the prep), so it should be smooth sailing from here. No fun either way. I love the snowmen, and the girl's pregnant snowwoman is so funny! Amazing what kids will come up with these days. LOL. I didn't even now what that word was when I was their age! LOL. Fun fun fun.

Hopefully you had a 'blissful' sleep for a few minutes, and you test went well.

The girl's snowman was so cute. I do have to say though, that is a lot of snow!

Jeanette said...

Loe the snowpeople, especially the pregnant one! I hope all goes well with your procedures,

Well today is Tuesday and I am praying for you and the tests. Praying for a quick and complete recovery.
Love the snowy photos and that meme is a hoot.

I think that snow forecast sounds totally plausible. 😃 Ha ha. I haven't lived there in years, but I remember the mountains of snow piled up everywhere, by the road, on the shore of the beach, in the schoolyard.
