Sadie and the Snowman

This was our second bout of snow back in the beginning of February 2010, before the real snow came--over 50 some inches!! Anyway, we had been reading the book Sadie and the Snowman over and over again this winter. Absolutely love this book and so do the girls. The girls were so excited when it snowed and we got to create our own snowman. It ended up being a day in the low 40's and enjoyed making a snowman with very little bundling in the way of scarves, mittens, hats, etc. The girls chose what to accessorize him with. Chocolate chip cookies for the eyes and buttons, licorice for the smile, and a healthy choice a carrot for the nose. They decided he wasn't quite complete until he had scarf, hat, and arms. They endearingly named him Mr. Frosty. It was so much fun. I think I had just as much or even more fun then they did. They also enjoyed snacking on the goodies while creating him.
