It is January 26th and we are just barely breaking out our snow gear. It has been a crazy winter! Crazy but Awesome! It has been uncharacteristically warm for Rexburg this year. Just last week we had a high of 55 degrees. Last year at this time we had several feet of snow and the temperature rarely got out of the negatives. The only one who has been complaining about the unseasonably warm weather is Austin. He has been wanting to build a snowman for months. We have had a few little snow storms but nothing that stuck. Well, today was Austin’s big day. When Vance got home from work he and Austin got all bundled up in their snow gear and went outside to shovel the driveway and build a snowman.
Austin was CRAZY with excitement!
We have a big driveway, so shoveling is quite a project. You can tell by Vance’s crazy shovel patterns that he didn’t know where to start.
Austin got this book called “The Biggest Snowman Ever” He wants us to read it to him almost every night. When it snowed he kept saying, “Let’s go make the BIGGEST SNOWMAN EVER!” Vance is went out to help him and this is what they came up with. Obviously his heart wasn’t in it.
I was worried you wouldn’t be able to see the little thing in the picture, so I had Austin stand next to it to show how little it really is.
Vance was worried that Austin was going to be disappointed in their sad, pathetic little snowman, but he was hungry and tired from work and wanted to go into a warm house and eat dinner. Can you blame him? When they finished the snowman Austin exclaimed, “Yeah, it’s the BIGGEST SNOWMAN EVER!" Whew! Crisis averted! Maybe someday we will show him what a real snowman looks like.

That is hilarious! Good thing it doesn't take much to excite them! Sam has been very disappointed in the lack of snow as well. We still haven't had any stick.
Where did the Sugar City boy learn to make snowmans?
I wish I could say come to Grandmas and we will make a snowman but I think you have more snow than we do.
