Anyway, we've had a very mild winter so far this year - lots of moderately warm days and hardly any snow. Usually I really appreciate this kind of weather, but I was really hoping to get to take Isaac out in the snow a little more, since he loves the stuff. Luckily, one day late January (the 24th, to be exact - thanks, Camera, for remembering for me) we had a nice little snow fall.
The snow was perfect - probably the best packing snow I've seen since moving here. So I wrestled Isaac into his snow clothes - the tears only lasted until I opened the door to the white wonderland that awaited - and we sallied forth. We made our little snow fellow, or really I did with Isaac acting as my coach :), and lazy mom decorated him with items from the yard. I'm particularly proud of the little curved stick I found to be his mouth and also the way he sort of leans back as if to say, "Behold the glory that is a man made of snow!"
Isaac loved him and proudly pointed him out to visitors, even as he began to look more and more like a freakishly emaciated snowmummy as the days went by. Indeed, as the song prophesies, in the sun he melted, melted, melted, in the sun he melted.
Small.

Love it! We made snowmen that day too. Well my mom and Ryan did. They made two and Ryan named them Mommy and Daddy. There is just something so magical about snowmen. I am glad it finally snowed!
That's an awesome snowman. I don't know the last time I built one. I should do something like that with Morgan. Too bad there hasn't been much snow this winter.
Awesome snowman!
