After our “snowhill but no snowman” incident the other day, the kids had been pestering us to take them snowman-building again.
“Mommy, is the snow wet enough today to build a snowman?”
“Can we PLEASE go and build a snowman today? I don’t mind building it in the dark!”
So on New Year’s Day morning, we promised the kids we would get our snowman built provided they got up early enough and that it was sunny.
And this would be me, giving them a headstart and a hand in the snowman-building project:
It’s hard work, and a very good workout! 🙂 Just imagine, your body needs to work extra hard to fight off the cold (especially when the wind starts blowing) and also, you need to keep rolling and patting the snowballs to make it larger and larger for the snowman, all the time making sure the snowballs stay intact and that the snowman doesn’t topple over!
The kids again enjoyed every moment of their time in the snow. They had fun rolling the snowballs around and watching them grow bigger and bigger…and now, they also had Daddy to throw snowballs at!
After some really hard work and teamwork, we began to see the snowman take shape…
