semperfionaYa gotta love St Louis. The beautiful snow blanket from last night is already thinning and melting to slush. But Rosa and I got to enjoy it for a little while.
This morning we went to IHOP for breakfast (she polished off four sausage links and a slice of bacon as well as most of two eggs and several bites of pancake--she's a big eater!). Then we went to Forest Park and tried to make a snowman. The snow packed beautifully into small snowballs but wouldn't accrue properly so that they could grow into snowman-size balls. (Snowman testicles, yes, but without the snowman to stick them to, what good is that?)
So we threw snowballs at each other and into a half-frozen fountain, where they floated (of course), I helped her make a snow angel and made one myself, and then we gave it up after about 45 minutes since we weren't really properly dressed for snow adventures: she doesn't have any boots, or even sneakers, just open-topped buckle shoes, and her mittens had soaked through.
We went to Sam's and bought some diapers and other exciting stuff: I got the Harry Potter Hogwarts School popup book for myself and Lord of the Rings for my dad.. And now we're home, I just walked her around the block twice to put her down for her nap: she's asleep and I'm online.
My dad had mentioned that he wanted a copy of LotR to reread after having been very impressed by the movie, so I said I'd find him one. He also expressed a wish for some other things to read (books in English being hard to come by in Peru...) so I culled about 25 books from my shelves that I thought they would like and was willing to part with, and offered them to him. They declined six or eight on grounds of having already read them, and the rest I'll box up and send off. In fact maybe I'll go do exactly that right now.
