Triominos and Elvis

Ok… so I lied. I never made it outside to play in the snow, much less take pictures of it. I did, however, manage to fall on my ass in the driveway because of it. Yup. I’m one of those idiots that slips on black ice in the driveway in broad daylight. Seriously, how can you not see black ice? Guess I’ll remeber to look harder from now on. My beautiful purple hip will remind me of that for a few weeks.

Anyway, to get back on topic, although I do not have snow pictures,  I do have the WWC for this week. How long has it been? Since last year? I’m not making any promises on how often I’ll play this time. I’ll get to it when I can, if I can. But without further delay, this weeks WWC. The words were triangle and elvy.

Triangle

Triominos is our new favorite game. Not only is it easy to play and have a conversation at the same time, but you end up with some really cool shapes…

…Like dinosaurs!

Elvy

Meet Elvis, or Elvy for short (the dog that doesn’t really look like a dog). I think Tink may have made a type-o. I’m guessing she meant that the word should have been envy. I had a hard time trying to find a picture of Elvy 🙂

Squaring off

The best part about watching these two play was that the dog got her ass beat! Felix is used to playing with a Mastif, so he really took advantage of his smaller playmate.

The Knock Out Round

At this point, Elvy decided she’d had enough of getting beaten and retired to her crate, where she spent the next hour shaking anytime the kitten walked by.

Well, this has been a rather exciting post, but with only one week left of winter break before classes start, I need to start getting to bed before 5am. So, I’m off to bed. Good night to all, and here’s to wishing it’s warmer where you are! (Here it is 10° with a wind chill probably somewhere close to zero.) 

 Until next time.

Ahh… snow

For the record, I. love. snow. What is it about snow that makes winter seem warmer? I mean, I hate being cold but I could be outside all day in the snow. Aside from not being able to go anywhere, and kids running through the yard and ruining the untouched, glorious white blanket of snow, what’s not to love? Seriously?! Sledding, skiing, snowboarding, snowball fights, warm fireplace, hot chocolate, beautiful white trees, bareback pony rides….

And there’s about 6 inches of it outside waiting for me. Will be back with pictures.

I. Love. Snow. The end.
