The Most Amazing Snowman

Since we live in an area that rarely gets snowfall we were pretty excited to see the couple of inches that fell this day and took advantage by making snow angels and building a snow man.  This was the little one's first snowman and he was more interested in clearing the snow off the swingset than building the snowman.   The day afer this we got about six more inches of snow.  The boys kept checking out the window to see if the snowman was okay.  At one point he had fallen over and we went out and rebuilt him.  After the snow came the ice followed by several days of rain.  Eveything was a slushy mess and in a few days there were almost no traces left of the wintery weather.

We watched as our snow man slowly melted away.  It was sad to watch him go and my oldest suggested we bring some of the snow into the freezer to save it for another day.  I did manage to talk him out of that.  We enjoyed our winter adventures and last Friday we had a sunny day (it was 40 degrees) and we went to the park to play with our friends.

Hey you guys! Do you know that we live and have lived where it is supposed to snow and we have not been able to make even one snowman all season. Live it up! It is too much fun for the kids. Here... it feels like spring in Idaho and the locals say it should be cold and snowy!
