snow day: episode three

Well, the roads finally cleared enough that we were able to get in the car and go downtown to mess around. Which is great because if I have to sit through another episode of Dora the Constantly Shouting Explorer, I may go out to the garage and not come back.

But before we went out we stepped outside to build a snowman. Sadly, the snow was too powdery for proper snowman construction so there was nothing left but to chuck handfuls of snow at Kiddo. I tried to get her to throw some, too, but when she said, "Daddy, throw snow at me" who was I to refuse?


I did, in fact, aim for the head. What of it?


I got in a couple of good ones before she questioned the wisdom of her request.

It's supposed to start warming up enough to melt all the snowy fun. I'll kind of miss it, mostly because my four-day Thanksgiving weekend started three days early. And, Dora notwithstanding, the long, directionless days with Kiddo (and her Mama) have been lots of fun.

nice shot. The aim with the snowball and the timing with the camera.

You are a good shot pally. Who knew? Yuki didn't, that's for sure. But snowing so soon in Seattle? That's nuts.

panicky interlude

This is not the promised "Magical Ponies" post. Apologies. Instead, this is the "You Negligent Monster" post. Because Kiddo is in a Japanese daycare, parents are asked to remove their shoes before coming in. No problem. I have a pair of loafers that I hate that I wear on pickup days so I can get in and out more quickly. Most days while I'm putting my shoes on, Yuki will run away from me and I will make noisy protestations and she will giggle and come back. Today, however, there was the running and the noisy protestations and the giggling and a splat. I guess she tripped ("running away" involves going around a corner where I can't see her) because she was crying and pulling herself up off the floor when I got to her. "No big deal" as she likes to say (she does, really, it's friggin' adorable). She had a little red line across the bridge of her nose but there was no blood. She asked for a Band Aid and I told her we'd get her one...
