So, Aiden has been begging to make a “no mam” since July. I kept telling him we had to wait for winter, and then the snow had to cover the grass, and then it had to be warm enough for it to pack, and finally, finally, No Mam weather came. Linda was here the day the No Mam conditions were right, so she had the fun of building the snow man.

It is just about as big as he is! Chad named him Bert, and Aiden watched out the window every time the dog went out, in case Myles peed on his no mam. Bert melted a bit in the thaw, but today he is strangely bigger, covered by several inches of fresh, powdery snow. A no mam renaissance!
