This morning while the boys were still asleep, Trevor & I went to check out the snow accumulation. The forecasters suggested somewhere between 2-6 inches, and we measured 4 inches sitting crisply on our table on the patio.After he shoveled & salted the side walk, Trevor made a tiny little snowman to test out the snowman-making aptitude of the snow.
(Lentil eyes with a pretzel nose & mouth)The snow proved to be excellent, and so when the boys woke up we had a quick breakfast & then headed outside for a serious snowman building project!
Baby N & I watched from the inside:

Trevor & J rolled, packed, pounded, and patted until they came up with this:
Baby N & I gathered a few things to add, and Mr. Snowman started to come to life...
The proud snow builders:
Some fine-tuning by the quality control inspector:(who was singing "snowman, tall, tall, tall" throughout the project)
This guy is big! He stands right by our front door, facing into our big front window (or side window, depending on where you're looking) so we can keep an eye on him all winter long...or as long as he stays so tall.Tall.
Tall.
Tall.
Mr. Snowman is 5 feet, 4 inches tall.
Shall we have a contest to see who can guess how long he'll stay around?

i am glad he got a hat...next week, maybe he will get a WIFE! I have no idea what it is like in your neck of the woods in winter. chilly. lets see...I don't know! FEB 14? will he die of love unrelinquished? March 15. Will the Ides have it? April 15...will he leave by TAX-i?
Is his nose a Cheeto? That is what I am trying to figure out.
nose = baby carrot
My kids would love enough snow for a snowman. We are being teased with flurries right now. That system that hit you continued south rather than east. Oh well, we are in Michigan....we will get a large snowfall soon enough and then I will wish it gone just as quickly.
I hope your snowman stays around till January 31st. Though, he may start to look a bit worn out. And the squirrels may eat his nose!
If we're just talking the snowman himself, I'm betting he'll be gone by Dec 31. The sun will beat down and the rains will come and warm air will blow in through December. We've seen many-a-snowman be born and die within the month. May he have a prosperous month!
I LOVE IT!!!
I love the tiny one. It is precious! and probably gone, right?
I just need to say- your skillz are improving lady!
I love the snowman! (And also the cute embellishments. :)
That's the BEST looking snowman I've ever seen. I think he'll stink around until May ;)
