Go figure - on the first full day of spring we get a snow day! Since it had only snowed once this past winter, everyone seemed pretty excited at the prospect of some snow. I would have been happy to trade in the snow for sun and warmth, but the kids had a lot of fun making the most of a spring snow day. They were off school for two days, so of course they wanted to go sledding with friends. The question on this occasion was how many girls can get down the hill together at the same time. They had a blast!
Day two of the snow days was already starting to warm up, so the snow on the sledding hills was practically gone. Nina and Lyla had built this snowman the day before, so they wanted to go out and add another snowman, perfect this one, etc. However, while they were squabbling over whose snowman this really was, Cayenne took the opportunity to sneak off with the carrot nose. She ended up evading the girls and ate the whole carrot nose. They asked for another nose which I got for them, but then the scene played out over and over again for 6 or 7 carrot noses.
Every time they would turn their backs or walk away for a second, Cayenne would sneak up and steal the nose. I don’t know what she liked more, the attention she got from stealing the nose,getting chased around in their attempt to get it back, or actually eating all the carrots (which she did). Maybe it was a combination of all of them, but she was so funny. She probably stole between 6 or 7 noses, like I said, and eventually I made her come inside so they could have a little peace, but she just sat by the door and whined to go back out - I think she just thinks she’s one of the kids. She loves to play!
