Snow Play!

So, we went out as a family and just played in the wet snow after lunch today. That really is the best packing snow and it wasn't that cold. We had wanted to do this last year, but the days were either too cold or the snow wasn't right.

I made the ball for the bottom of the snowman, demonstrating for Lily. She made the other two, but need help because she could no longer push the middle one to get it to the snowman.

You should have seen Kevin and I trying to lift that middle one up, I'm sure it would have been a hoot to anyone watching! We discussed carrot noses, but decided the squirrels and birds would eat it and I only had baby carrots in the house today, so we went all natural and used pine needles for hair and pine cones for buttons, nose, eyes and mouth. Turned out pretty awesome in my opinion.

After I took the kids in (Lily's feet were getting soaked, she had to wear her dress boots because when she was sick, guess where, in her good winter boots and we cannot get them clean! gross I know!) Kevin stayed outside awhile longer and finished building the fort we started near Mr. Snowman. It looks awesome! I will try to get a picture of it tomorrow perhaps.
