After lunch, I bundled up my 2 little ones (Eric & Gracie) and we made it our personal mission to destroy the pristine landscape we had woken up to. I had to embrace the mission simply due to the alternative: trying to keep a 3 yr. old little boy and a one year-old pug out of it. Yeah right.
And we were wildly successful with our destruction. The snow was deep enough to provide a pleasantly-fatiguing challenge for Eric and a hilarious obstacle for Gracie! Poor little thing thinks she's a Great Dane, but her 8 inch legs tell her otherwise.
Eric had a wonderful time falling down while receiving minor injuries, thanks to the cold cushion the Lord was providing for us! He got to make his first snow angel ever (and Gracie "decorated" it with tiny little footprints). We also got the fantastic experience of seeing the individual snowflakes land on our gloves! They were so beautiful! And they reminded me of Who-Ville! Gracie was less interested in each individual flake than she was in eating mouthfuls at a time.
After our mission was complete, I asked Eric if he wanted to eat some of the snow. His eyes got wide and offered an enthusiastic "Yeah!" So I filled a couple bowls with snow and sprinkled Tang over the top. Eric loved it and I hadn't had it for years, so it was really quite a treat. Shortly after, Gracie took her place by the heater vent and Eric went down for a nap.

he look so handsome with his bowl of snow tang, which I love the idea and have never heard of it before now, bowl of snow with flavor on top! yes, sounds much like a snow cone, but literal, minus the cone part. oh bother.
