Frosty the Snowman

To Rachel, all snowmen are Frosty the Snowman. She sings the song almost daily. Yesterday we went back out in the snow because it was warmer and we could stay out even longer to enjoy it. The sun warmed some of the snow and what used to be really powdery, dry snow is now wet, packable snow in some spots in the yard. So I made Rachel's first snowman.


She "helped."



She was very impatient, of course, so it was a very small snowman. After he had three sections to his body I found various things around the yard to give him a face and arms--mulch for eyes, and acorns for a nose and buttons. I found a curved, small stick to make a mouth. Then Rachel decided he needed a hat....made out of snow (I tried to give him my hat, but she didn't like that). I think it makes him look like he has three heads, but she was happy!
