sleepover + sun + snow = snowgal

It was the perfect combination: sleepover, sun and snow. All three collided here this morning when my 8-year-old and her friend, who were both still a bit wired from last night’s annual school carnival, trudged out into the backyard to scoop, roll and stack. And from that, this gorgeous snowgal came to life. Busy with my “to do” list, I almost forgot to take a look after she said, “Did you see what we made?” It was worth borrowing a few precious moments to wade through the drifts and discover her, this smiling snowgal who wouldn’t exist if not for the youthful energy of two young friends.
