It's "Snow" fun when school is cancelled!

Last night we watched the Super Bowl and Mom & Marty's house. Since the game got over late Emily stayed at their house. They were going to take her to school in the morning. However, it snowed and snowed last night and so alas when we woke up this morning school had been cancelled. Marty offered to drive Emily home after they "hung out" for a while. When Emily got home we quickly ate lunch, got dressed in our winter gear and Olivia, Emily & I went outside to make a snowman! The girls decided they wanted to make three snowgirls... one for each of us.

The first few snowballs we made were TOO big for me to pick up (heavy lifting is for Daddy...) so we ended up having to make the snowballs smaller. Then we made three snowgirls... this took all the snow in our front yard as well as the neighbors (thanks Jennifer)! The girls used bark, branches & rocks for the finishing touches and as if it was "meant to be" I had three carrots left for noses.

Above is Emily's!

Here is Olivia's.

Olivia decided she wanted the big snowman to be "Daddy". I asked her, "Where is Mommy then?" She responded, "Inside making hot cocoa silly!" So our three snowgirls turned into two snowgirls and their Daddy! How lucky for him to be immortalized (at least until the temperature rises) without having to do all the work!

Daddy was not home when we made these so there is no picture of him with his snowman!
