Big, Bigger, Biggest

On the way home this afternoon, Forrest and his friends, Deaven and Payton, made a snow ball. They had to abandon it 1/2 block from our house as it got too big. Later in the day, Forrest begged me to go get the snow ball with him. So begrudgingly, I put on my boots, coat, gloves, and hat to go pick up this darn snow ball so he would stop bugging me. Low and behold, I cannot just "pick it up." You can guess what happened next...what a mother will do for her child! So Forrest and I begin rolling this thing to our house. Meanwhile, every foot or so, this ball is rapidly increasing in size. By the time we get it to the corner, we are really working hard. Out of the blue, two kind people from the neighborhood on yonder, offer to help. For 10 minutes, 3 adults and 1 child maneuver this thing out into the street, huffing and puffing, now rolling it up a slight incline to our driveway. We don't know these folks, but we do have a giant snow ball in our yard thanks to them!
