Snow Day

Yesterday it snowed...almost 5 inches!! That is quite a lot for this part of Oregon. It all almost melted by the afternoon...but boy did we have fun in the morning!

After about 4 hours playing in the snow we decided to make a snowman before heading in for lunch. Mom and the boys worked on rolling and putting together the 3 body parts.


Then the boys were all about decorating the snowman...the placement of the carrot nose was the most important.

After finding the sticks for the arms and all the rocks for the rest it really started to come together...


For the final touches the boys insisted on putting a stick with moss/lichen on the head as the 'hair' and then the straw hat on top of that. They are happy with the look and their vision!


However, being boys of a certain nature...the finished snow man lasted just long enough for Mom to get one picture of them standing with their creation...then they screamed with joy as they knocked it over! Boys!!
