A Week of Ozarks Weather

One day this past week it was really nice outside.

So we woke up the puppies,

and carried them outside.

It made them hungry,

really hungry.

But they seemed to like it.

They licked my face, I assumed they were saying
thank you.

My son made sure they were nice and warm just in case.

Then he put them down so they could finish eating.

But then it snowed,

so we brought them back in the house.

Back where it was nice and warm.

And we went outside to play.
This is Sam's snowball he was throwing at our children...
he's a little intense.

This was Huck right before he attacked me.

We built a snowman...
but the boys only like to build them so they can knock them over right afterwards.  Otherwise they don't have much use for them.

Huck was being so nice, I decided to see if he'd let me bury him in snow.

He pretty much did.

But I'm not just totally sure he liked it that much.

And then, by some sort of miracle from above...
I managed to get a half way decent picture of the four of us using my timer.
It was amazing!
No one complained,
no silly faces,
the camera stayed focused.
It was like a dream.

So I said, "wait, let me go see if it's a good one."
Luckily it was because as soon as I got up they went back to this.

Sandy took a little break from the puppies to come out and play, and I'm guessing submerge her engorged underside in the cold snow.

Dolly and Huck kept watch over the place.

"Nothin this way,"

"or that way."

"Nothin out there either, not that I wouldn't be the first one to head for the house if there were."

"Hey did anyone bring a sled?"

"Guess we'll just roll down the hill."

And finally,
not to change the subject,
but the puppies are 4 weeks old today.

So happy birthday puppies!
You are so cute!!!
