Bud, amusing Big with his show of strength as he crushes chunks of icy snow in his fist:
Brushing snow off Big's jacket:
Big, in his cumbersome snow gear, kept getting stuck in "downward-facing dog" (at first, trying to help him up by the arms, I kept bonking him in the head with my camera, so I started just grabbing him one handed by the back of his jacket):
Finally, exhausted, Big stopped trying to get up on his own. Here, he is sitting and chanting, "Up, up, UP!":
With encouragement, Big managed to get up on his own-- without getting stuck in "downward-facing dog". Hooray! He is so proud of himself:
We had a lot of fun. They wanted to stay out for longer, but I was getting kind of bored just standing on hard snow. Plus, my toes were cold (I don't have any boots, okay?!). I am such a party pooper!

From a Christmas Story:
[overdressed for winter]
Randy: I can't put my arms down!
Mother: Well... put your arms down when you get to school.
Randy: I can't get up! Ralphie, I can't get up!!
And I forgot:
Ralphie as Adult narrating: Getting ready to go to school was like getting ready for extended deep-sea diving.
And since you seem to take to playing the part of Ralphie's mom, if Rophone wants to play the part of his dad, he can order a leg lamp from:

That's one of Rophone's favorite movies! He thinks it's a complete sacrilege that I haven't seen the whole thing!
We have it on VHS and DVD if you're interested. :) I can send it back with all the stuff at Thanksgiving.
Big's hat is awesome, as is his very impressive "downward dog".
Oh, my bad- "downward-FACING dog". :)
