The tale of...

I have a little story to tell...

Ring ring...went the phone and when I answered it I heard the sweetest voice in the world...errrr....scratch that....redo...

Ring ring...went the phone and when I answered it I heard the manliest macho machismo voice of the studliest soldier in Afghanistan on the other end of the line.

And my heart went pitter patter...

But thats not the story I actually wanted to tell you...  You see, when John is actually able to contact us it is the highlight and brightest spot of my day.  His voice...  Well, lets just say that when you haven't heard the voice of the person you love most in the world for a very long time...  That voice melts you into little puddles of errr...well, in my case, tilapia, rice and carrots...since thats what I ate for dinner...

So, if I'm blogging, I HAVE to put in the bright spot of my day - even if it has nothing to do with the actual blog I'm going to write...

Anywho...the real story I wanted to tell you is about 4 snowmen people..

The Grandpa snowman...the mommy snowman...the little girl snowman...and the baby girl snowman...

They all lived quite happily in the backyard in 12 inches of fresh snow.  The snowpeople were very happy with their family who had worked so hard to build them just right...hauling giant snowballs to just the perfect spot to build the little snowfamily...

They patted and molded them just right...

They hung out together all the time...just lounging around in the snow...

And they gave hugs and kisses as only snowpeople can do...

Then one day the little girl and the baby girl turned on the grandpa...

"Oh no!  Run grandpa!  Run!"

And poor grandpa was pummelled with snowballs...

First by the baby girl...

Then the little girl got into the fight with a giant snowball...but it was too heavy to throw....

So the mama snowman stepped in and got grandpa really good...

But, she remained safe behind her snowperson...person...? who saved her from a snowball beating...

And poor grandpa had to just drip dry...

And the snowpeople lived happily ever after through the end of February, but it better not be much longer than that or the mama will not be happy with winter.

The end.

Show me the love....
