francois.
3 / 04 / 2010Among other things, Rochester got a shit ton of snow while we were there last week.
And shit ton = more than a few feet
Which? Totally awesome because remember? I LOVE SNOW.
So, to commemorate the white stuff, we made a Francois:
And he was full of super awesome (Also? I’m really not *that* tan. Actually, I’m not tan. At all. Why do I look tan? I have no idea…but I’m thinking maybe it’s because I’m standing next to a SNOWMAN)
And Tim’s dad sent us updates on Francois today.
This was taken this morning:
Francois, among other things, lost an eye and well, is obviously no longer feeling super awesome.
And this was a few hours ago:
Francois lasted all of a day.
Apparently, I super suck at Francois-building and am in need of lessons.
Either that or Francois had a really, really rough night.
I’m thinking it’s the first one.
He’s so cute! And I love how he fell over face first into the snow! Death to Francois. Drunk ass.
Poor Francois.
Poor Francois. He did look amazing though.
THE only thing I miss about up north is snow. I love making snow families. When we were younger my sister and I would try to replicate the Calvin & Hobbes snowmen studies. too funny. but you may have had to of been there.
Strong work. Francois was fabu.
You really shouldn’t be surprised at his demise. Those Frenchmen with their wine and all. He was quite spiffy.
Love him!
I made a snow dude this year, too. Hadn’t done that in YEARS. http://toadmama.com/2010/02/bumnabul/
Aw. Francois took a faceplant.
Oh, poor Franciois! Hahah, the pictures made me laugh. And you DO look very tan!
I think Francois did amazingly well. It looks like it was the weight of being super awesome that finally did him in. He held it together while you were there, but once you were gone so was his reason for being super awesome.
Dammit Gravity, you are a cruel cruel adversary. goodbye francois.
Why am I having to put my name and e-mail in again? ugh!
Sorry about Francois. Snow people just can’t hold their alcohol. Really. It’s a little known fact.

I know how Francois feels! After an exhausting week I think I might just lie down as well.
Poor Francois. He was so depressed that you left him, he committed snowicide! Or? Your father-in-law killed him?! Maybe he’s a snowial killer?
@ toadmama – wow! Now that’s art!
He is french of course and of course he drank too much wine but it was because he misses you. You left him and when you did you must have taken his heart with you.
Francois approximated about the same trajectory I take when I have had one too many cocktails. I find that when i go to brush something off my shoulder and it’s the floor, I have had enough!
You know those Frenchmen, they just don’t hold their American liquor very well!
Nice job! Very stately looking, and very French snowman you built there.
