Apparently we had a warm day or two this winter

The 17th and 18th of this month were quite warm days. The 17th Savannah and I built a pretty good sized snowman in the backyard. Unfortunately we didn't have time to finish the detail work. She convinced me the snowman at least had to have a carrot nose before we could go in for the evening.

The next afternoon when she looked out she was sure that a bunny had eaten the nose! They sang a song about that at play school earlier this year. I finally convinced her to go out and look on the ground for it. The whole snowman was a lot smaller as it had melted quite a bit that day. Pretty soon she let me know that a bunny named Savannah had eaten the carrot and handed me the stem end of it! :D

Then she tried to fix the snowman, but just ended up with a head on the ground. So then I got her some buttons for the face and helped her put the hat and scarf on.

This one kind of shows how small the head actually is.

This one shows you the surprised look on his face!

If we had made it on the 18th I'm sure he'd still be standing as a solid iceman. We are still hoping for Spring, sometime soon.
