So it is time to play a little catch up. It has been “vacation” for us here. We filled the last week with holidays, family, friends, broken noses, severed fingers, good meals, birthdays and all sorts of other things that make vacations great and even when not so great… memorable.
Here are a couple I just found of Dunes building her Snow-Snowy Owl in our backyard while Griffin napped.

Note: I got a few smiles. Turns out Christmas, snow, and snowballs are all things that will bring out smiles without much prodding.

Here she is testing out her omnipotent powers and making it snow. Who knew bamboo trees were ever greens? They stay green throughout the winter.

Of course all Snow-Mama Snowy owls have their nest of eggs to protect from the predators of Providence. There are quite a few. You can ask Dunedin and she will give you a list.

Again, smiles. Before I jinx it, let me share my latest technique for getting my children to smile at my camera. Slapstick. Mommy falls, mommy walks into walls, mommy cannot hit child with snowball to save her own hide, mommy tries to talk but only squawking comes out… This sort of thing. Give it a try. Someone is sure to get a laugh.
