First Snowman of the year


The snow was perfect for packing and making snowpeople yesterday. Short of a carrot for the nose (we used a ripe banana) I'd say we did pretty good. Following this picture we started on a smaller baby version, complete with a pinwheel. Unfortunately it didn't stay cold enough for them, Mouse called lastnight to let me know they fell later on in the day. K helped mouse decorate her tree Saturday and they watched Frosty the Snowman for the first time. I am told she was near tears when he melted, but luckily was happy again when he returned. We told her if the snowpeople we made start to melt they too will take the train to a colder place.
More snow came in the night, waiting to go out for an adventure.
So far today we have made some breakfast muffins and will now string beads for our own decorating. Time to hang the Advent Calendar Mouse gave K. Still working on ideas for activities to put in the pockets. We'll have to wait to put them in the night before, I have a feeling someones curiosity will take her through every pocket early... wonder who she gets that from.
