Thank heavens for husbands who are like, or are, little boys in a man's body. Today with all the snow the kids were ecstatic to build a snowman with Rob. He needed to work this morning so when he got home the kids were jumping off the walls. They had already gone out for the usual 10 minutes of playtime that they do every morning after it snows. It takes 15 minutes to get all there gear on, they last 10 outside, then they get sent to the bathroom to "derobe" and throw there wet stuff in the tub. Needless to say, when he got home at noon he was right back outside, almost immediately. Heres the play-by-play.
Yeah, the ball on bottom is huge and the second ball that he made was just as big, luckily he didn't throw his back out or get a hernia trying to lift it. So he chopped it in half and went peice by peice.
...yeah that didn't work, so he then proceded to make it into what he likes to call a rameumptom (check you local Topical Guide for that one), the kids thought it was great.
After that they just started packing snow on and I kept taking picture after picture until finally he told me to put the camera away because it wasn't even close to being done. At this point it was over 6' tall.
Shelby and I played on the floor for a while, but she sure liked to watch them play, she wanted to be out with them!
At one point I looked out the window and saw this...
and this...
Finally this!!!
Oh, no,but then this.
And now this is in my front yard. They love it anyway!

A twelve foot snowman and a hot date all in one day. What some guys won't do ;-)
Awesome snowman guys. That looks like you all had so much fun. That reminds me of when we would make snowmen (remember Marge Simpson) and Dad actually chased someone down once to keep them from knocking them down. Fun stuff!
That snowman is so great. Or should I say, snow tower. That picture of Shelby is so cute. Poor thing...she just wants to go out and play! Were the kids disappointed when it went down? I like the play by play.
The snow monument is excellent. My compliments to the chef or architect. Whichever you choose is fine. P.S. I really liked Waitress. It almost made me want to make pies. Almost.
What a fun day in the snow. Oh, how much I miss the snow!!! We'll be there next year. I love that kids will love any creation there parents come up with. Great work Rob!!!
Did Rob have to use all the snow in your yard to make that thing? Holy Smokes!! That was a fun day for the Jolley kids!!
