Bombarded!

For the past few days that the snow has actually started falling, this has been the situation at the farm:

Yesterday it hit full force, as it was new year's eve, family was still up from Christmas, and cousins wanted to play in the snow. Soon everyone in the vicinity became subject to snowballs whirling everywhere- any kid's definition of fun, right??

There was scuffling,

Whitewashing,

And then. . . came Dan.

Snowball in hand.

Right towards me- the most innocent bystander of them all.

He took aim at my feet, then threw snow everywhere.

Luckily, he missed.

But he was not to be deterred.

No way.

Soon, he hit his mark.

And seemed pleased about it, too. (Darn kid :) )

Never mind. He's too cute for me to be mad.

A few days ago (When there was still snow) I decided to make a "Snow Duck."  

Here are the results:

Two Paths Cross. . .

This morning we found the story of Cat V.S. Mouse written out in the snow.  You can't get it any clearer than that!  :)

Wowza!

I can't believe that it's only one day until Christmas!  It always seems like I have plenty of time to get stuff ready- but no. . . . .

Christmas is always too sneaky for that- so here I am with 1 more present to get before the day 

after tomorrow.  Ugh.  

Here is a picture of the birds that Corn Nut took pictures of in the window well.  He thought that they were amazing.

Doesn't it look Chilly?
