First snow, means first snowman and first shoveling... Let me tell you - if you're not one of those guys with the snowblower - go out and get yourself a scoop!
I killed my back several times last year, with the massive amounts we had then, and finally got a scoop near the end of the season - where it was impossible to really use because of the 6 foot snow banks! But if you start out with a scoop, you can push that snow anywhere you want and not have to do any bending or breaking.
Back to the snowmen... Emma and Meghan each made their own today. Displaying impeccable technique for only their second real winter.
Just like in the Frosty cartoon - everyone knows the head is the hardest part:
Finishing touches...
We nabbed some carrots for eyes, nose and mouth and some twigs for arms... and VOILA!
As the snow was wet, and some wintery mix was in the air - their mitts got soaked before school so had to make a quick change before running off to school. But they had a great time with it - let's see how long those snowmen last. The first of the season rarely lasts 'til the end...

Snowman Homicide!
The first snowmen of the year came to a cruel and horrible end... they fell not of natural causes (warm weather and melting) but, were taken down by one very close to them!
