Snow

Now this one happened a month ago, but I've been pinned down by sniper fire from lord WTF's minions. Thank goodness I move like a ninja.

Snow. The wonderful frozen stuff that falls from the heavens during winter. The stuff that should not even exist during the summer months unless Al Gore actually has some substance to his premonitions. So, my oldest boy decides to improvise.

Set the scene, Tommy trains laid out in intricate tracks. Gordon is doing his thing, but oh, does Mother Nature (aka Aaron in his little world) have something in store for him. Freak snowstorm in June! Tons of the powdery, and I do mean POWDERY, stuff thump onto his tender, halting rail traffic to a standstill. It's a white out!!

One month later and I'm still cleaning up an entire bottle of baby powder from all over the house. Talk about clogging the filter on the vacuum. :p
