On the way to church
we had to stop for deer crossing the road. We almost didn't get going again.
This picture was taken through the windshield, and you can see how the ice was not melting at all.

Snowman Ornament
Click on any of the pictures to make them much bigger.
What you'll need:
Styrofoam balls
Paperclips
White Crayola Model Magic Clay
Orange Crayola Model Magic Clay
Hot Glue or Strong Craft Glue
Black paint or marker
Blush - yes from your make-up drawer
Ribbon
I started by sitting in front of the tv watching Grey's Anatomy and wrapping the white model magic around the styrofoam balls. I popped a paper clip in the top of each one for a hanger. I made little noses out of the orange model magic. I let them dry overnight.
I used the hot glue to attach the noses to the heads. The hot glue didn't stay 100%, and it made a blob behind the nose. I would suggest a strong craft glue for this part.
Once I had them attached, I used a black marker pen to make eyes, and add a little detailing to the noses.
Rub a little sparkly blush on their cheeks, tie on a ribbon, and you're done!

5. You can say you lived in FIVE different decades on New Years Day.
6. It’s a lot more fun drinking because you don’t do it as often as you did in your 20s.
7. You get to go to a job every day with the knowledge you’ll be doing this for another 35 to 40 years.
8. You can wear bifocals without feeling like you are too young for them.
9. You feel great when you get carded.
10. You are younger than ESPN.
11. People get to tell you, “at least you aren’t turning 40.”
12. Six year olds can ask you what it was like to see dinosaurs.
13. Some guys find crow’s feet at the corner of your eyes attractive.
14. No more worrying about acne, now you can worry about gray hair.
15. You are one year closer to collecting a pension and social security!
16. Nobody is going to say “Lordy, Lordy, look who’s 30.”
17. The younger generation can call on your vast knowledge of Cosby Show, Doogie Howser, Growing Pains, Who’s the Boss, and Cheers episodes.
18. You can tell high school freshman, “I am twice your age and I never…”
