snow art



the single's ward was cancelled yesterday due to the high volume of snow here in colorado springs. i have to admit, i was a wee bit happy at the prospect of just staying home for a day. i had to work on saturday and i was in dire need of a break. as the day went on, i started to get cabin fever. my sweet little niece had it even worse. so i took here out to build a "snow-girl-man". megan has a sneaky way of renaming things. when we got outside, i tried to roll a ball of snow for the base, but it simply crumbled in my hands. then my brother-in-law, steve, started throwing snowing balls at my face. this made things harder. so instead of trying to make a large snowball for the base, i made tiny snowballs to throw at his face. (i think i won the fight because he called truce after some snow went down his collar). wow. i have really sidetracked. SO, to amend the wrongs committed, steve helped my make a base of snow for our snow-girl-man using a shovel. a few minutes later he disappeared and left wee megan and i to finish. i decided that we should make a sitting snow-girl-man. in other words, building out instead of up, because of the lame flaky snow. here is the finished product. his name is herb.
