It's 'Nowing!

Little Chief bounded out of bed Saturday morning screaming, "It's 'nowing, It's 'nowing!"

Snow is not the only "S" word LC struggles to pronounce. Other favorites include, "Shammy" for his big brother, and he brought the Andrus girls to their knees in laughter when he commanded the dog, Shadow, (repeatedly) to *SIT!*

 It was on this "Nowy" day that Pops decided that the rain gutters MUST be cleared. To be honest there hasn't been any time before now (the leaves are finally all down and *mostly* hauled back to the compost pile) and the weather is not getting any better around here. Still I was pretty sure he had a death wish when he crawled out on the slick roof, tied to a power tool.

But why would he want to kill himself when he has these darling little *lazy* angels to care for on top of that full time job of his!?
As he likes to quote George Bluth, "I'm doing the time of my life!"

 Pops said that the ambulance that was blaring down the street slowed as it approached the house. He was waiting for them to pull over, lean out the window and say, "We'll just wait"

No worries though, he only had one close call all day and it was during the 1% of the time that I was actually spotting him on the ladder. Pops is my hero. The true model manly man.
