Red Neck Family

This weekend the kids were playing outside. The weather had warmed up here just enough to make the snow PERFECT for building snowmen. It's always so cute to me when they build snowmen and because they're getting a little older, they don't need my help.

Turns out I should've been out there. They called me to the front yard and this is the scene that sits there...for all the world to see:


Two very large snowmen and one adorable snow-mouse. But look at little closer....

Yep. That's a bow in that snowman's hand. And...
Not sure if you can see the pistol in this snowman's hand. Wait...there's more:Don't forget the little sniper-snowman up on the top of our dead tree. But who or what are these little icy hunters after??

Why, a deer, of course.
(I had one of those cute white light deer statues that raises and lowers it's head...but a strong gust of wind blew it over one night and it was just laying in the snow.)

So...the little sick-o's took the head of it, build a snow-body for it and stuck a stick in it as the "arrow/bullet/slug" that took it's life. AND if you look closer, they took some red berries from one of our trees and squeezed them for the effect of....

Need I say more?

Guess WHO comes out of HIS workshop to see this masterpiece and starts laughing his head off? NOT ME.

You'd think that being home with them all day, every day, I'd have more of an influence on them than their father! Not true, dear readers. And all the more reason for me to try even harder. Red necks we may be....but not for long!
