The Snowball

Frosty Jr.
 
 
 
I see you all survived the end of the world.  The Oreo cookie was right when it said not to worry!  Now we're good until 2060, when Isaac Newton says the world will end.  I'll go with whatever Newton says, because anybody who realizes that apples fall down and not up, is a genious!
 
Anyway, we had a little snow fall in my part of the world.  (And I mean, a little - not even an inch.)  The kids immediately ran outside to play in it.  They made Frosty Jr. pictured above.  Isn't he cute?
 
When they were finished, they came in.  My son came in with something else.  A snowball.
 
"What are you doing with that?" I asked.
 
"I'm putting it in the freezer."
 
"Why?" 
 
"Because I'm saving it for next year.  I'll add to it and make it bigger."
 
All right, then.  So now, ladies and gentlemen, I have a snowball in my freezer along with the hail balls from the storm we had this past summer.    Maybe we can get a thunderstorm or even a tornado in there, too!

  1. I love Frosty Jr! That's cute about the snowball. We had a huge icicle in our freezer for the longest time.

    And now you have me craving Fig Newtons! :)

    1. Better go find a Fig Newton before they disappear like Twinkies!

  2. Perhaps you have a budding scientist there, your son seems to always be thinking. . .

    Like Frosty jr., but a snowball in the freezer shows a tolerant mom.

    1. My son has a very scientific mind. I can relate - I'm the same way.

      I think I'm just plain crazy to let my kids put snowballs and hail balls in the freezer! :)

  3. Interesting things in your freezer.

    Sherry, thanks so much for the reviews. They are more precious than many other gifts.

    I still need to learn about posting reviews on places other than Amazon where I recently placed my first review.

  4. Frosty Jr. is cute! My son wanted to make a snowman, but our snow was just too fluffy. We did get out the sled and go down the hill in the backyard. He declared we need a bigger hill! We'll have to find one if it snows again.

    1. You should come to my place. We have a ginormous hill not too far from here.

    1. It still cracks me up that you're a Canadian who hates snow! Are you sure you don't want some? ;)

  7. You're right, a genius! I remember insisting my parents keep hail stones and snow in the freezer when we lived in Oregon. The hail was more common than the snow, it seemed. At least, that's how I remember it.

    1. The hail we had this year was nasty. We had over $4,000 worth of damage on our vehicles!

  12. A lovely post, children always have some ideas what we wouldn't even think of.

  13. Great snowman. :)
    If you get enough snow and ice in your freezer, maybe soon enough you can turn the cool way down and save on electricity! Just a thought.
