Oscar, the skateboarding snow dog. It's one of his favorite things but he hasn't quite figured out how to do it just yet. Too bad he can't meet up with Tyson the professional skateboarding bulldog. Maybe someday they can meet and Oscar can get a few pointers from him. Like Tyson, Oscar is drawn to the skateboard. Good thing Alex isn't interested in it anymore because Oscar now calls it his own.
What is he thinking? No one can skateboard in the backyard - let alone in the snow! These minor facts don't stop him from trying however.
Here is a better picture of him trying on the front walk. This is the first time he's been out in the snow and so far so good.
Now this is really what snow days are all about - prepping for a huge neighborhood snow ball fight (in our backyard no less). Notice the fort of protection being built on the left. I've been informed that a team of boys (7) from up the street were coming down for the action. My boys are not the only two on their team - they were however the only ones out there at the time I took this picture.
Enjoy the snow day boys - we don't get too many of these anymore!
Oh my... just saw boys from the other team walking with a saucer filled with already created snow balls. This is getting serious! I think I'm going to peek my head out there so they all see me and know I'm watching. Want them to have fun but not get crazy!
