Once there was a Snowman!



We had some good snow a couple of weeks ago, so I thought it was time to take Big Brother out to get used to this white stuff.  He didn't want to sled too much, he thought snowballs were OK, but he LOVED making a snowman. We rolled the base, body, and head, and while I was scrounging around for something to use for a face/ arms, my boy went to give the snowman a hug and knocked his head off.  He was pretty upset.  I told him it was OK and started repairing the head.  When I looked up, he was sitting alone across the yard with his arms folded.  I wondered if he was trying to make a snow angel or something, so I went over to help him.  I asked him what was going on, and he told me that he was on "time-out" for hurting the snowman.  I tried not to laugh...  didn't succeed. 

Unfortunately the weather warmed up pretty quickly so the snowman died within 3 days.  Big brother was pretty bummed, he didn't want his friend to melt!
