Snow Play Day with Lisa and Kyleigh

Debi's sister (Lisa) and Lisa's daughter (Kyleigh) came for a play day in the snow on Saturday, December 20th. We built this snowman together. His hat is a cookie tin, his eyes are two halves of a plastic Easter egg, and his nose is a small orange shovel. We used gold coins for his ears, plastic eyeglasses, a drawer pull (handle) for his mouth, and a "Happy Birthday" banner for his scarf. He has lava rock buttons, CDs for his feet, and branches for his arms. The snow was so powdery that we had a difficult time making his head. We used snow molded into a bucket--hence his robot-shaped head. Kyleigh named him "Windy" and then changed it to "James".
We had this great brake rotor that looked perfect as a snowman's hat, but it squished the snowman, so this little snowman next to the big one only ended up being about a foot high. He is wearing pink sunglasses and a brake rotor hat.


Kyleigh enjoyed eating snow. Lisa and Debi taught her about "yellow snow" and she saw some yellow snow being made by Maggie, the Kayser's dog. For the rest of the day, Kyleigh kept reminding us not to eat yellow snow!
