A Snowman

When we woke up this morning we discovered that it had snowed over night, much to our delight. Unfortunately this delight was short lived when we discovered that we would still have to go to school today and not spend the day playing in the snow – boo!!

Daddy had to drive to Wrexham to take Josh to school and despite driving all the way from Warrington in the treacherous conditions Josh still made it to school at the same time as some of his classmates that were only driving in from Wrexham!

When Daniel and Emilie came home they decided that as the snow hadn’t melted that they wanted to go outside and play in the snow and build a snow man, so that is exactly what they did! After 15 minutes they came in and told Mummy and Tim that the snow man was ready for inspection – their efforts were good but not up to the very high standards thar Mummy and Tim.

Tim told Daniel and Emilie to go and collect some more snow and he came back in and got a coat on so that he could go out and help, Mummy put our dinner in the oven and then she came out to play as well.

Emilie was in charge of shoveling snow and Tim was collecting snow from the cars in the road! We soon ended up with quite a sizable pile of snow and Mummy helped build the snowman. We used stones for his eyes and mouth and a carrot for his nose and then we christened him “Fred the Snowman”

During the building process Daniel and Emilie took a break and lay down to make Snow Angels! They were soaking by the time they had finished but the Snow Angels looked pretty and they were enjoying themselves immensely so it wasn’t a problem.

We love the snow and want more now so that awe can have a day off school to play in it!
