You're Breaking Rank, Ranger

And if you've got a little boy at home, you know which Pixar movie features that line.

Just like the title of the post implies, I'm about to break one of my self-imposed blogging rules and post pictures of the Royal Monkeys having fun in the snow.

It was, after all, a record storm here in the Heart of It All.

Enjoy the snow show!

********************************************

The front of Casa de Monkeys, about 9:30 am on 3/8/08. There's a good 6 or 7 inches on the ground, and still the snow fell. It reached two inches below the bottom of my windowsills by the end of the day.

Brownie, Insane Canine #2, demonstrating his Tree-Slaloming technique.

Knute teaches Sir Screamsalot proper Power Shoveling.

Prince Tatertot enjoying his favorite snack, fresh-fallen snow. Seriously. His other nickname around here: "The Viking." A true throwback, that boy is.

Princess Pinky secretly plotting to join the Siberian Circus as their first ever "Snowy Swing Daredevil Girl." Just after this picture, she swung herself as high as she could then jumped into a huge pile of snow.

Here's hoping you other Midwestern bloggers are dug out, too. It's supposed to hit 61 degrees on Thursday here; all that fluffy white fun will soon re-swampify my yard.

Sigh...
