Winter Blues

I really, really like playing in the snow, and last winter I had tons of opportunities to romp around in the stuff. This winter therefore really hasn't offered very much excitement for me. I got really excited last week when the news started saying that it might snow Monday morning. I wasn't sure if I should believe it since the weather has been getting in the 70s and 80s nearly everyday. This morning when I woke up about 7:00, I noticed that MGL was still home. I knew only one thing could have happened- Snow day!

 After a quick look outside I ran back in screaming SNOW! at the top of my lungs while I rummaged around for my coat. Kit ran to get her coat too. MGL asked us to calm down a bit, but it definitely wasn't going to happen.

 Kit and I got right down to an old fashioned snowball fight when MGL rudely interjected our fight by pointing to the shivering girl on the front porch steps. After squinting my eyes I realized that the girl was my new roommate Marie-Grace. I had almost completely forgotten about her.

 I threw my final snowball at Kit and bounded over to the porch. For some reason Marie-Grace has insisted on keep on that weird looking 1850's ensemble she showed up in. I have before offered her some modern garbs out of my stash but she has always refused. I asked her if she wanted to play in the snow with Kit and I,  and when she answered yes, I got her to go in and put on a sweater.

 After Kit and I exhausted as much energy as we felt was necessary throwing snowballs at each other's faces, we held a conference with Marie-Grace as to what wintery activities should be next on the agenda. We all settled on making a snow man together.

 We all spread out in search of the items to make him. I about froze my fingers off rolling the snowballs. I think that he turned out kind of cute for all of the effort though.

It was overall a nice day, too bad it all melted off already. Maybe it will snow again sometime before spring is actually set in.(It probably won't, I wonder how hard it would be too convince MGL to relocate to the Artic Circle.

Meet-n-Greetin

MGL came into the doll space last night and told Kit and I to put on some dresses. I'm not really sure why she said anything to me since I was already wearing one, but Kit begrudgingly went over to the closet. MGL seemed overly excited and hyped up for some reason, (she usually stays pretty mellow and monotone) so I decided to ask her what the big deal was when Kit got back. She informed us that she wanted us to meet someone and handed over some ridiculous looking name tags.

 I really was wondering who the person we were supposed to be meeting was. (The name tags are a little much, aren't they?)

 Kit and I were finally relieved when in walked the very height of 1850s fashion. MGL told me her name was Marie-Grace and that she is shy so I had to be nice.

 She barely said more than a sentence to Kit and I(she is apparently from New Orleans but I didn't detect an ounce of accent) but she sure took a hankering to Yoshi. I have heard before that dogs can tell good people, I wonder if that works for plush dogs and vinyl dolls too.

 MGL wasn't supposed to get this chunk of dolly flesh until she lost 70 pounds but her mom told her she could go ahead and open her and get another reward when she finished losing weight. I think I might be able to do some things with this Marie-Grace, she sure looks pretty next to the jonquils in the yard. Now I just have to keep that corrupt Kit away from her.
