anyway, when i arrived on eddie bauer's website, i noticed an advertisement for "the special of the day". being the consummate consumer i am, i couldn't resist; so, i clicked on the tab. the company was actually having a great day sale on all its winter gadgets.
after scrolling past tumblers, heated ice scrapers, packaged smoked sockeye salmon, and the such, something caught my eye. it was a bright red thingy that looked interesting.
when i clicked on the image, i found that it was a snow slinger.
(as an aside, when i googled the above images for this post, the caption for the first read, "perfect for a kid who's too damn lazy to make a snowball with their hands", lmao!:)
my first thought was
SNOWBALL FIGHT ON THE LANE!!!
i counted how many i needed and proceeded to order 17 of them!!!
~@~@~@~
late Christmas eve night, my brother, katherine, jacob, and i packed up the commander and quietly delivered them to all katherine's friends' front porches. the only stipulation upon receiving the package was that the recipient would have to come to the lane for a big snowball fight following the first measurable snow.
well, we are expecting 3-5 inches tonight:D
so...
IT'S ON!!!
(to be continued...)
love and God's blessings,

AHHH! AWESOME!!! You're one of the best moms. I hope you get lots of photos of the fight.
That is so fun!!! We don't have a need for those here.. Thought it was an ice cream scooper!!
Hope you take lots of pictures and perhaps even a video. You are such a FUN mom!
OMG this is gonna be fun! Take lots and lots of pictures!
Happy New Year by the way!

Oh sure, snowball fights are all good clean fun until someone puts a rock in the middle of one and someone loses an eye. Beware all you snowball fighters of the
"rogue rock hider".
Dani, I'm sure it will be a very civilized and safe (and equal) fight. But just in case you might want to post warnings and consequences. Oh and keep a tight inventory of all of Maggie Pie's droppings!
ROTFLMAO
Good times! Good TIMES!!!
And I agree with Heidi, you ARE the COOL mom!
I wish we had snow here!! They look like so much fun!! I bet you have more fun than the kids Dani :)

Your blog keeps getting better and better! Your older articles are not as good as newer ones you have a lot more creativity and originality now keep it up!
That sounds a blast. Wish I could join in the fun. Shame we have no use for such fun items. Too hot in our part of the world. Happy new year to you, John and Katherine. Hope the new year is filled with more such fun.
Love and hugs XXXOOO
How fun! Excellent choice on those and not the smoked salmon, by the way. I (the person who DETESTS all seafood) decided to be a nice wife and make Patrick some of Paula Deen's deviled eggs with smoked salmon on top for New Year's Eve. Heavens to Betsy! When I opened that little pouch, the stench of that stupid smoked swimmyness just about took me down to the floor! Pat said they weren't tasty enough to make me go through the agony of dealing with fish again. (Thank goodness!;) I hope you and your crew are having a blast with your snowball flingers!
