Once there was a Snowman

On Saturday we woke up to quite a bit of snow and since it hasn't snowed a good amount up until then the kids were anxious to get out and build a snowman, make snow angels, throw snowballs, and most of all eat the snow!  We got them all geared up and headed out.  James helped them roll the snowballs for the bottom, middle and top of the snowman and then put them all together.  We tried to round out and shape him so he looked nice.  We then got out the snowman kit we have that has wooden eyes, carrot nose, coal smile, buttons, a nice fleece scarf, and a felt top hat.  Jayden and James found some great branches for his arms and then the kids took pictures with him.  It's a good thing we got some pictures because later that day from the sun and the fact that our snowman was front heavy, he fell apart :(  But we had fun with him before that time came and will have to make another one when we get some more snow.  It was so nice to have all of us out there together doing something fun especially before the baby comes!
