Last year would have been the perfect year to use that kit, seeing as how we had enough snow to build snowmen for every person in the state, then have some left over for little snow homes for each one, and then some still left over for ground cover.
Nope, didn't use it last year! We waited until this year.
Today, it was sunny but cold, and the snow was fluffy. Not wet, not slushy, not easily molded, just fluffy. The snowman we built took some work. At one time, Scott actually told the kids, "This snowman is just for mommy and daddy to build..." I know he was half joking, but it was seriously difficult to mold Frosty into perfection.
We even tried cheating a bit and used water to build the head. Also, there may or may not be a plastic rod going through the middle to insure stability....but honestly, that is just for the safety of the public while viewing our snowy masterpiece. We really aren't sure what our home owner's insurance covers, so we thought we'd play it safe.
With out further ado...FRANK! (Delanie named him all on her own!)
Delanie standing proudly next to Frank. Yes, for all of you who are concerned, we will be having a very serious talk with Frank on the dangers of smoking tobacco, and the example he is setting for the children...you know, after he's warmed up a bit.
Just Paxton...hanging out. He actually stayed in one place the whole time. Not because he was trying to be good, but because he thought he was stuck. Apparently, it was very difficult for him to maneuver in his snow pants, boots, and coat.
Lastly, what's a day in the snow if you can't be schooled in the art of a snow belly?
