Frosty The Snowman




My experience here in Missouri tells me that usually, if you don't take advantage when the snow is fresh, it gets icy, hard and crusty. (Which reminds me, early I gave Anna Bella a pizza crust and she said, "yay, my crusty," giving it a hug. Lately she has been naming things by just adding "y." Pretty funny.) Anyway, I thought we had missed our chance to make a snowman this time around since the snow's been on the ground a few days.

Today I noticed, with the slightly warmer temperature, that the snow had softened up and was packing nicely. I told Timothy I thought it would work well to build a snowman and he immediately left the video game he was in the middle and got bundled up. He was excited. He helped me a lot this year which made it was so much fun. The kids wanted to name it "Frosty the Snowman." We also had a great snowball fight! :)

Just now, Bella came down from the bathroom with the soap bottle and said "I'm pretending this is my daughter, her name is Soapy." Then she accidentally dropped it down the stairs and said, "Aaaah, are you okay daughter?"

Just one of those "kids say the darnedest things" moments that made me laugh. So, I thought I better jot it down for journal purposes so I won't forget. :)
