Two weeks ago everything was closed in anticipation of the Great Snowstorm that was coming; we only got a light dusting. This Wednesday it actually did snow and the schools were closed, so no play center for us today.
One thing about Massachusetts it has great snowman snow. This snow was heavy, wet and sticky.
This started out as a great snowman, but L added some antlers and now it is a great snowmoose. The bad thing about this snow is that it is wet and soaks through everything. A person needs insulated rubber boots rather than snow boots in this weather.
K eventually woke up and although L wasn’t ready to go inside I think that he had run out of energy for outside. He is still trying to catch snowflakes on his tongue, but with less enthusiasm. K detests her snowsuit, so we had timed our time outside with her nap. When she woke up she wasn’t impressed but the world was strange enough that she tolerated it for a few more minutes while I coaxed L inside with hot chocolate and a promise to read the book “Snowmen at Night” by Caralyn Buehner.
Christmas 2008, L got a book “Snowmen at Christmas” by the same author, that book is quite cute, this book is no exception. If you have ever wondered why your snowmen does not look the same the next day you should read “Snowmen at Night” to find out what your snowmen does while you are sleeping.
