When Mama is Away at Sea

And Noah, the good father
Takes the little girls outside
To keep them happy still
And never tires.

And the goblins come.



They push daddy around
And pile daddy in snow
Until they have another daddy, all made of ice**


This is what Noah and the girls are doing.

Saturday mornings while I am either working at Paying Job.

Or out at Caribou.

(In case you were wondering)





Working Hard:




Freezing in the snowy blue world:





Playing little house in the snowy wood:



Eating snow:



Throwing snow:



And laughing:







Thanks daddy.

We love you.
