Mr. Buttons Snowpants

We had a pretty good snow fall last night, so this morning we bundled up and went out to see if we could build a snowman.

First step - putting on the layers ("yayers")

Forging a trail. The snow was almost too deep for Molly. She lost a boot a couple of times, but stayed amazingly dry - she would just fall over and put her foot up in the air and wait for me to help her.

It was good packing snow, so we started building. (Can you see Elijah's tape? I used packing tape to keep their mittens tucked securely into their coats. Works great!)

A good start.

He's not big, but he's cute! They named him Mr. Buttons Snowpants, and he is apparently a fan of the US Marine Corps.

They decorated him all over with "buttons."
