The sun came out today and it was warm enough for MayLynn to go outside in the snow. So we all bundled up and went outside to play. MayLynn loves being outside, and although she didn't move around much, she just sat and smiled as Owen and I made a Snowbear.
The original idea was to make a snowman, but the snow was perfect. Not too soft and not too hard, so we were able to mold it more than normal and the result was more than just a snowman. After watching me roll one snowball, and helping with the second, he figured out what he was doing enough to roll the snowball for the head all by himself. Add some snow arms, a nose, ears, a stick for the mouth, and some "pokey" balls for the eyes and buttons and wallah! you have a Snowbear.
I even managed to get Owen to stand still enough to take a good picture with the bear, and then he returned the favor by taking a picture of MayLynn and me. I am very ready for spring, but after this afternoon the snow isn't too bad, as long as it melts soon.
