knit gloves are NOT waterproof.
an Alabama family doesn't own gloves for playing in the snow.
no Aden we do not have a snow shovel.
imitation peppermint extract mixed with snow tastes like mouthwash.
a 10 year-old boy can throw an ice ball better than a baseball.

I'm in total agreement about this. Although you should add,"At the sight of snow flakes, kids in Alabama are as excited as if it was the second coming."

And I'm really hoping it was Aden having problems with the plumber's crack. Otherwise, ewwww!

As I was reading your post, I was imagining this wondrous activity happening in your yard...I can just see Laura or Emma going inside to get the extract to do their tasting experiment. Poor Eli....got hit in the head by Dad?
