We have been enjoying this lane of snowmen for a couple of weeks now!! A couple of weeks ago we had a wet snowfall, and after the snowplow went by it left big balls of snow. The kids decided that their project for the next day would be building snowmen. It was cute to see them all out their working together. The little ones were the designated snowball haulers, and were pulling sleds around loading up snowballs. Sadly, I forgot to take a picture. I guess I was too excited to be getting something done!
I thought it was creative that the kids molded the faces on their snowmen - so that they could mass produce faster!
Kami, Caden and Maddie are big Calvin and Hobbes readers, and they were hoping to get all the way down to the neighbors house, and make a "house of horrors" like Calvin did in the cartoon. Our neighbor is a pediatrician and they wanted to build (in the middle of his driveway) a snowman lying on the ground like it had been hurt, and a group of snowmen standing around looking at it. They ran out of steam before they got that far.
I like your blog. When you started talking about your snowmen, Calvin and Hobbes came to mind. Too bad they ran out of steam. That would've been fun. Samuel really likes those books, especially where he see all the snowmen. We just don't get enough snow here to even try it!
