Our snow here is usually so powdery that it cannot be packed into a snowman. So when we get a really wet snow we HAVE to take advantage of it!! This time we worked together and made the BIGGEST snowman we have ever made!
The kids have gotten pretty good at rolling snowballs; all I did was help lift them. That one above took all of us using all our strength to get it up!
I had to document the awesome teamwork and lack of fighting going on! Whitney and Owen can be so great together when they have a common goal. :)
Bad picture of Maris, but she was eating carrots that I brought out for snowman noses and learning how to walk in snow. She would take these funny big steps, it was so cute.
Here they are with the masterpiece! They went on to build a Mom and a couple of kids before they lost steam and went inside for lunch. :)
And then the funniest thing happened-- we had some warmer temps (like 38* haha) and rain so the snowman started to shrink, but it kept freezing at night so he just slowly tipped and tipped! I asked katelyn to pose for this picture and she nailed it!
He just kept bowing lower and lower as the days went by, and now everyone wanted a picture with it!
funny kids!
Here is the Leaning Snowman at his lowest and thinnest before a storm finally toppled him haha. :)
Just a fun memory I wanted to preserve.
