Snow Day

We finally got some "snow" here in Knoxville today, on a school holiday, so it didn't even have to count as a snow day.

We came home from work to find the boys (Brett, Trevor, Eric & David) in the middle of a snowball fight. I think if there was any less snow on the ground, it would have been a mudball fight instead.

No, Brett wouldn't throw a snowball at his dad, would he?

Trevor chasing after the big boys as they head to the horsefarm, hoping for bigger accumulations of snow.

When they finally came in, they were soaking wet and cold. As he shedded his duds, Trevor announced, "You know those ShamWows? I bet if I stuck one in my butt [back of his pants], I could wring water out of it!"

This past weekend, Trevor announced he wanted to be an engineer so he could design roller coasters. He was drawing them on paper. Later I found him in his room making his first one using books, tape, lego's for guard rails and a lego cart.

His reason for wanting to be an engineer? He told me that they would probably let the guy who made the roller coaster ride it for free as much as he wants!
