Our second snowman

Sunday was another perfect day to build a snowman. Instead of wasting time building a snowman (or duck) in Lesard park where it will be demolished a few minutes after its done, we decided to make one we could enjoy for a while in our own back yard. The problem with urban yards is that there isn't enough snow to make a decent snowman. No problem though, we rolled the snow off of the neighbour's yard and trucked it back on the trusty wagon.



We got a bit over-ambitious, making it almost impossible to lift the midsection onto his mono-leg.




The snow-dude ended up being a bit imposing. He could see right into our back window with those off-kilter eyes - which made us feel a bit uncomfortable while we were eating dinner.



Our snow sculptures are all destined for an early demise. We woke up Monday morning to find his head on the ground, carrot nose ground into the ice, and tennis ball eyes scattered on the bricks. No kids to blame this time, just warm weather and some overnight rain.
