Snow Song

A little something I thought up while eating lunch, dreading my chore of the afternoon:

Sing the following to the tune of "My Bonnie Lies Over the Ocean"

Will someone come shovel my driveway?
Won't someone come shovel for me?
I don't want to get out my snow boots
and my jeans will get wet, don't you see?

Sho-vel, sho-vel,
someone please shovel for me, for me?
Sho-vel, sho-vel,
oh, won't you come shovel for me?

I wish that the sun would just melt it
or the white stuff would just disappear.
For it was my new resolution
to not shovel snow this whole year!

Sho-vel, sho-vel,
someone please shovel for me, for me?
Sho-vel, sho-vel,
oh won't you come shovel for me?

I did not forsee this snow coming.
12 inches is no tiny thing
I think if I shovel for too long
my arm will be broke in a sling.

Sho-vel, sho-vel,
someone please shovel for me, for me?
Sho-vel, sho-vel,
oh, won't you come shovel for me?

want some cheese with that whine?

It has been exactly one month since I last blogged. Mostly, I think, I have nothing to say. Life just goes on and sometimes I don't feel creative enough to make it exciting. In order to blog, I have to think of something fun that has happened, or take cute pictures, or say something in a creative way. My creativity has been lazy lately.

I will attempt to get my groove back.

In reference to my excuses for not blogging, I mentioned that I haven't taken cute pictures. That is not entirely the case. The problem is that as soon as I bring out the camera, Megan begins to whine. She starts whining because she wants to look at all the pictures on the camera. I can't even take a picture before she starts wanting to look at them. So, in lieu of taking pictures of Megan doing cute stuff, I get pictures of Megan whining to see the camera, as evidenced below.

You can't see her hands in this picture, but she's signing "help!"
"Mom, we're at the church, and if you don't give me that camera, I'm going to throw a fit right here on the floor and make a scene!"

"Please, mom? I'm asking nicely..."

"Now I'm NOT asking nicely: give me that camera!!"

I guess we never should have shown her pictures on the camera. Oh well. At least I got a blog post out of it!
