I am glad that Reuben is wearing his snow pants. They look that they are much needed there. That would be really fun to fill bags with dirt!

Nice new shoes Justin.

I was going to write about the snowpants too. How the native New Mexicans don't have them on, but Reuben from "Midisoda" does.

Who is the boss of the snowpants?

Reuben was wearing snow pants because all of his three pair of pants were in the wash and grammie didn't want him to go out side in his underwear. I had a short sleeved shirt on and didn't get at all cold.

We sort of do that at our house too.... we get plastic cups, fill them with a little water and put in a tea tree light. Then we line the driveway with them... they're really pretty :)
