Helpping Mommy

Trey and I did get to go out in the snow. We have quite a bit of the white stuff! It was a very dry snow though and not good for snowman building. Trey didn't seem to mind too much. He had a wonderful time running in the snow, jumping in the snow, throwing the snow......
I got Trey all bundled up and set him free outside. Kayelynn was tucked in for her morning nap. So, I set in to clean my car off. It was covered in snow and under that, ice. I managed to get one of the doors open so I could climb in and get it started. I waited for awhile for things to start melting but it was a pretty slow process. I decided I was going to have to remove some of the ice by hand. I started in scratching at it with my scraper, picking at at it with my hands, and finally banging on it with my fists. I must have been quite a site because I had gotten Trey's attention. I looked down and there he was looking at me with wide eyes. "I'm not sure if Mommy can do this" I said to him. He took on a very thoughtful look.
Now for this story to make sense you must have a background in the cartoon Mickey Mouse Clubhouse. I understand if this is not a commonly watched show by some of you but its a hit with the small people at my house (yes, even Kayelynn will watch a little). In this cartoon Mickey and his friends are usually on some sort of adventure and encounter different problems they must solve. When they run in to these troublesome situations they stop and call for Toodles. Toodles comes flying in and has different types of mousekatools to choose from to help solve the problem. Then all is well and Mickey and his friends live happily ever after.
Now, where were we....oh yes, Trey was looking at me with his big eyes and being thoughtful. When he gets these thoughtful looks I can almost see the wheels turning in his head. I'm sure you have guessed the punchline here. Trey takes a big breath, and at the top of his lungs calls out "Ohhhh Tooooodles!!!!!" I thought it was sweet (and kind of clever) that he thought his cartoon friend might be able to help me de-ice my car. : )
