Anyone watching the weather over the last few days knows that we had a pretty significant winter storm roar through Northwest Arkansas. We got some freezing rain, but mostly snow. It snowed from early Friday morning all the way through until the middle of the night last night, for us here in Arkansas that is a lot of snow! We are lucky enough to be able to take our laptops home and work from the kitchen table, so that's what we did on Friday. On Saturday we decided to have a crack at building a snowman. Here is what we learned:
1. Building a snowman that actually looks like a snowman is much harder than you remember from your youth.
2. You wouldn't think that rolling big balls of snow would be physically taxing. It is. Extremely.
3. The target height of the snowman will begin to diminish rapidly as construction begins.
So here's our snowman. He looks like someone whose mother may have taken drugs while pregnant with him.
We're proud of him, nonetheless. He'll last until he melts or until neighborhood kids decide to knock him down.

I think that's a pretty good snowman still! We considered making a snowman ourselves too this morning, but decided, yea, it'd prob. be a bit too much work. Thanks for sharing so we can enjoy yours! :)
The snow is beautiful & that's about it. I understand why my dad said he never wanted to live in snow again, since he had in diff. places growing up. For a kid, its great, for adults, its work! :)
Love it!!
Love your lessons learned-- So true, so true. =)
