A Rockin Little Snowman.....



Kathryn built a fabulous, 2.5 foot tall snowman in the front yard this weekend. He's great for several reasons, but first and foremost is that he has a Head.

Often, my children begin things, like a snowman for example, and - shall we say - "drift" off task, and before you know it there's an incomplete snowball-on-top-of-a-snowball in the yard
without a head, accessories or anything. Those wonderful SnowThings grace our yard then for weeks, announcing to the entire town that we are collectively incapable of *completing* even the simplest of tasks. Not painstaking chores, mind you. Just a Snowman.

I knew Kathryn would be the one to take'er all-the-way. I think the greatest part of making a snowman is that you go into it knowing it won't last. Expectations are half the battle to avoiding disappointment, isn't it? (Click image to enlarge)
