Cold, White, BLISS

He be his mother’s son. This also harkens close to Daddy’s Colorado heart. Our eldest boy can NOT get enough of the snow.

All snow is good snow. Right? You betcha!

Lake Mountain is just a little over an hour outside of the city centre and the snowfall has been gorgeous. Melbourne has had an extended, cold, ski season this year (due to Global Warming, The Ozone Layer, Barack Obama and/or Our Own Hung Parliament) so we traipsed up the mountain for a frolic or two. Praps, three. Ten. Ten frolics, tops. Plus a whizzy. Ya gotta have a whizzy!

Spike hit the slopes, grabbed a handful of snow and piffed the biggest snowball he could manage. Morrison looked on with suspicion… suspicion bordering on contempt. He would not be having any of this ’snow’ carry on. Just direct him to the chips and he’ll forget this whole incident ever happened.

Spike on the other hand threw himself on a sled (Daddy “it’s not a toboggan, a toboggan is at least a metre long and blah blah blah [insert actual snow talk]“) and whizzed up and down the mountain (Daddy – “It’s not a mountain. It’s a hill if anything. Mountains are X metres high and have altitude [insert more hillist comments]“) at great speeds without regard for anyone’s safety, least of all his own.

He was retrieved from a spectacular spill off the sled (with his brother which only cemented Mo’s deep hatred of all things snow), from between the legs of other people and on one spectacular ‘final’ backward run – from underneath a snow making machine. Each time, with a bigger grin on his face.

Frozen toes nonwithstanding he is ready to go back to the snow, every second of the day. He knows where his gloves are and he’s pretty sure Mo Mo will like it more, this time.

Way to be optimistic Spike!

Performing for an ever increasing crowd of amused Brunetti patrons, Spike added squealing to the mix. I called him over and told him to knock it off. He replied.

WhoMe?

“But everyone’s watching me!”

When he comes to us for Ice Dancing Money, we’ve got none to blame but ourselves…

Or,

Lucky we’re not French born – he’d have to get sponsors!

A New Career Path

Chefing is fine. If you like that kind of thing, but lately our boy has turned his hand to a new vocation.

Stunt Coordinating.

Line it up.

Push it over the edge of the crevasse.

Cut to the spill.

Pose for continuity.

Fire continuity person.

He assures us it’s a career path with more opportunity that the celebrity chef route he was toying with last month.

Eh, so long as he keeps his mother in the style to which she wishes to become accustomed… where’s the harm?
