The Snowman needs Help!

As we had some snow today, much to my delight, Jasmine naturally wanted to play in it. She had school this morning so after school and lunch she had naptime. I promised her that after naptime we would build a snowman. Well, it took her FOREVER to fall asleep and when she woke up, it was already dark outside. Lorne thought it was still managable so we got her bundled up and went outside to build our snowman.

She really had fun helping daddy and she even ate some snow. She also insisted that the snowman needed a hat, so I found one for him. Jasmine loved him and even gave him a kiss. She didn't want to come inside after we were done.
We left about 20 minutes later to run some errands and the poor snowman had fallen (I don't think his proportions were right - after all, an Australian who never had snow growing up built him!). Jasmine gasped and said, "Oh No! Daddy, the snowman needs help!" I thought that was the cutest thing! Long live our snowman!

That is really funny, sad, but funny.

Well, for an Australian, he sure did build a cute snowman at that!

So funny that your family was thrilled by the snow!

Hayden absolutely dissolved into tears and heart breaking sobs when he saw that the snowman that we built had melted. It is adorable, but also a bit sad to see how attached children can get to things that they make.
