Holly and Ned Larkins Nos. 9 & 10 in the Cobblestone Circle Series |
|
It was sooooo hard for Holly and Ned to be in school
today with all that beautiful snow just waiting for them!
Ever since they got home last night from the Winter
Carnival all they could talk about were the magical ice
sculptures in the park and how they were going to make
one too. Of course they couldn’t really work with ice
but snow was ok with them.
Holly tried to tell Ned that he was making them too big!
Now they cannot lift the snowballs to make their snowman.
If only their older brother Gerry had stayed to help them
instead of heading off to the candy store ~
HE could have lifted them.
But Holly remembers what Grandpa George always says ~
sometimes you just need to look at things from another angle.
“Is flat an angle?” Ned wonders.
Holly rolls her eyes but decides it’s not worth explaining
it to him now because all they can think about is how
anxious they are to show Grandpa their
wonderful Snow Doodlebug! ~ SOLD ~ February 2007 |
Holly and Ned are the twin grandchildren of George and Maureen Taggert. They are both dressed in their warmest snow gear
~ Ned in a sky-blue fleece snowsuit with white fleece trim and matching mittens ~ Holly in her hooded pink velvet coat with the white panne trim and mittens ~ The iridescent embroidery at her waist and lower hem make her feel like a princess.
Somehow they never manage to keep their mittens
on their hands but Mother insists they ’wear’ them ever day. Good thing they come with those strings
that keeps them from getting lost.
Their sparkling ’snowman’ is actually made of painted yarn
and joint compound, with bead eyes and paperclay features.
The doodle-bug story is from personal experience with
my own children. Once you get to the fun part of
rolling those snowballs around, it’s just too hard to
stop before they get too big for a 5’3“ mom to lift. . . .
. . . . and yes, we did call them doodlebugs.
