{Theme of Week} Snow!

Does snow make you happy??? Sure does us… we waited and waited and waited… finally we have enough to get serious about some snow play!

 From our Snowman Buffet (aka lunch):

 Oh! the snow, the beautiful snow, Filling the sky and earth below, Over the housetops,

over the street, Over the heads of the people you meet. Dancing, Flirting, Skimming along.
J.W. Watson

Ideas & Inspiration:

Okay and perhaps the real reason for our theme this week (more like two weeks, three?)—  I had an excuse to dress Blaise up as a snow-baby:

If you have snow I hope you are enjoying every single second of it! 

 If you don’t— come visit– we have plenty to spare. 

Happy Snowy Days to you!

grrrrr

I thought about titling this post

‘bear with me’

‘he’s no grizzly’

‘I love you beary much’

Then I stopped myself from such ridiculous cheese.  Come on.  I’m almost 38 years old.  According to the dictionary a cheesy person is, “marked by an obvious lack of style or good taste.”

So here I am.  And here is my little cuddly grizzly bear.  Cheese and all.

And yes, I will freely admit that one  year I sent out a Christmas card with a huge cut-out bear that said, “Beary Christmas!”  I know. I know.

HERE is a Valentine’s Day card with Mason in the same outfit.

Once a cheese, always a cheese.
