Last Snowman of the Spring...I hope!

On Wednesday morning we woke up to snow! My first thought was UGH. But then when I saw the excitement and joy on my kids' faces I realized that snow, although annoying in April, was still a big treat for them. So after breakfast I bundled them up and we went outside to play. Eliana was at Grammy and Grandpa's, so I had fun with just C&Z. The snow was amazingly perfect for snowmen so Zaza and I made this cute little guy in about 10 minutes flat!

She was more than happy to pose by him and say "cheeeese"!

On the other hand, all I could get Calvin to do was one of his super cheesy cheeses and he was more interested in trying to run over the snowman with his Tonka truck than in standing next to it for a cute picture for his Mommy!

But my favorite picture of all is this one of Zahara looking at the snowman's face. My sweet, thoughtful little Zaza.

I wish I had photographed it, but 2 hours later the snowman fell over...It looked kind of pathetic laying there...like it was praying or something....begging God for a few more hours! Tony set him back up for us. But the poor thing lived only to later be run over by Tony in the church bus. It was a sad sight that cute little snowman all squashed with carrot here and arms there with a HUGE tire tread down the middle. By the next morning the snow was gone and all his little appendages and clothing were the only thing left!
