Well, we haven't gotten much more snow, except a bit yesterday. But there was still enough to sled. The hills are marked with sled marks and paths. It's been a lot of fun. The whole family has participated in sledding. If you live in the Oklahoma Panhandle, you know that we hardly ever get the right kind of snow to make snowmen. Well, yesterday the snow was perfect for just that! We 3 kids started with a little snow ball, but soon were rolling a huge snow ball around in the snow. The base of the snowman was way too heavy to carry, so we pulled it on a sled to the right spot to sit. The middle was too heavy for two people to pick up, so we rolled it up the base and to the top of it. The head was just right for Little J. to put on. Then we used rocks for the eyes, a real carrot for the nose, a twig snapped in two for the mouth, yucca sticks for the arms, plus an old cowboy hat, bandana, and gloves to add a touch of ranch life. He was around 4 foot something tall. He was the best snowman we have ever made! But he leans to his left, making it look like he will fall over. We had a lot of fun building Mr. Snowman.
