i heart snow

even when it freezes my nose

even when it makes me slip and fall

even when it gets in my boots and feels weird

even when it slides off the roof onto my head and down my neck.. yeeeeeekkk!

Snow Day!

Well. Ok. Not really.
For some reason classes weren't cancelled today, despite the
SIX INCHES OF SNOW!!

After class we all went out into the huge snowy field and built snowmen!

Two snowmen, to be precise.


Actually... to be precise, a Snow-Pope and a Snow-Luther.


Yes.


I know.

Somehow we wound up taking teams, and Summer and I took the side of Pope Snowius III (because his name was so awesome)... and Snowius and Luther started an inevitable argument...

Seriously? You thought Snow-Luther and Snow-Pope could be in the same field together? no no no

Here's how it went:


Snow-Luther: Heyyy Snowius, you've got a huge bootie! (he did by the way... we could both stand on it) Oh and by the way I've got a hammer and some nails!
Snow-Pope: You get yosef away from my church doors! VANDALISM!!
Snow-Luther: Whatcha gonna do, hit me in the head with your potpourri holder?
Snow-Pope: Get back here Wormface! I send my legions afta you!

at which point Summer and I, being the Papal legions, tackled Snow-Luther, yelling "Counter-reformation in yo face, Lutha!"


If you have never tackled a snowman, you MUST. At some point in your life. It is one of the most rewarding experiences ever.

Also one of the dampest experiences ever... we were completely soaked afterwards. Brr!


After that the Reformation Minions tackled Pope Snowius III and the church leaders turned into snowforts for the massive 40 person snowball fight that ensued. It was pretty amazing.

Yet another of those amazing moments that would probably only happen with homeschoolers.

a letter to snow
