Here are some pictures of the snow that fell on Joe Street in Oklahoma Friday night. It was mostly ice with a little snow on top. We had to warm up the car a loooonnngg time before I drove it Saturday. We all got out just after sunset and played for a few minutes in the road, pushing CassiJo around on a plastic box lid with a shop broom. We didn't have anything that resembled a sled to be found or any rope, so we improvised !
Looks like you didn't really miss the sled
ReplyDeleteLove that improvisation!
ReplyDeleteHopefully that night will be one that CassiJo will remember when she is an adult......:o)
ReplyDeleteHow fun! I remember using an old kiddie pool as a sled one year. Those were the days.
ReplyDeletei'm glad you guys got the camera.
ReplyDeleteIt's so much fun to watch kids enjoying themselves in the snow. Especially from a thousand miles removed.
ReplyDeleteWe once used a kitchen tray ... you know the type, that you collect your food on at a cafeteria ... as a sled, when we were staying at a ski resort. It slid down the hill really well, but at night, in the dark, the ski lifts don't run ... it was a long walk up !!!
ReplyDeleteLooks like you guys were having a ball. Snow can be so much fun.
Take care, Meow
PS... thanks guys for your lovely compliment on Maysiemae's blog. I think you guys are great, too.
ReplyDeletewell, back in the day, we used a bedpan. and then we tied a rope on the bumper, and yanked out our loose teeth, not only that, but when we had the flu, we still had to walk 5 miles to school in flip flops, because thats all we could afford at the five and dime.
ReplyDeleteEwwwwwwww, snow. Looks like you made the best of it, given the circumstances... shudder
ReplyDeleteoh my little one and I are holding our breath waiting for at least one more snow fall this year!!!
ReplyDeleteits been so long...
looks like your little one had fun..thanks for sharing
Pushing your kid around with a shop broom.
ReplyDeleteWhatever works.
Looks mighty COLD!
Redneck sledding (or "icing"...Slick?)
ReplyDeleteI STILL love the improvisation.
The last picture is funny. Looks like he's the nightly street sweeper who comes around and sweeps up all the kids off the streets.
ReplyDeleteAlas, the ice is melting away...
ReplyDeletejenn, looks like a cartoon opportunity.
ReplyDeleteNow we will put CassiJo on that rolling thing that mechanics use and play street hockey with her. :o) She will probably love it.
ReplyDeletehey my daughters have a leopard print coat like that too! snow! that's one thing I have not taken pictures of yet. Why didn't I think of that
ReplyDeleteMrs. D, how much snow do you have?
ReplyDeleteP.S. please go to my blog today and get the addys for the different gov't. officials listed there. Then write to beg them to do something concerning the sale to Dubai Ports World of the security contract for 7 of the ports in the United States. This is a very serious issue which directly affects those of us that live in the Bay Area here.
ReplyDelete(Joe already did).
You did a fine job at my blog. Well, except for the candle wax answer.
ReplyDeleteYour hubby was silly, as usual. He had some very clever answers.
