snowmen

I came home from work yesterday to an empty house. Terry had both kids outside in the backyard making snowmen. It was nearly 50 degrees yesterday making the snow perfectly sticky for rolling. It was so nice to prepare dinner in solitude and know that the kids were having so much fun outside.

Look at all that chin! Evie's hat always falls over her eyes. I wonder if she can see anything at all.

It's blurry, but Terry took this right after their first snow man fell down. I watched from the kitchen sink and it was quite funny. They were just standing there looking at it when it just tipped and fell.

Seems like the boy did a pretty good job at rolling...

...and packing the snow down.

He's a good brother. He pulled Evie in the sled for a long time. He even did it again this afternoon.

It was about 6pm and dark but they didn't hardly wanna come in, even for waffles.

Just before they came in they were attempting to knock the second snow man down. Noah was taking running shots at it to no avail. Each time he tried, he would back up a little farther and run at the snow man. They finally got it down when they went at it from behind, pushing from a different direction.
