Yesterday that snow was still way too dry to be useful, but today was sunny and not too cool so the snow melted just enough to be excellent for packing. I made the kids go outside by giving them the choice of cleaning up the basement or playing in the snow. Despite the enforced excursion, some fun was had. I also decided that for once, we’d try building a snow man. I discussed it with the kids, projecting as much enthusiasm as I am capable of, and as a result the snow man was built as my solo project. Oddly, although the snow was good for snow balls, it didn’t roll up as well for the snowman, but I managed to get a couple of good sized snow balls. After some assembly, Corwin made a small head for it, along with a couple of arms and a few facial features. At least it was of enough interest that the kids stood near it long enough to get a picture.
P.S. I asked about sledding, but no one was interested. “Snow way”, apparently.
