Sunday was nice because the temp warmed up enough to melt some of the snow (like from the streets) and slush up the previously too-dry-to-build-anything snow, but it stayed cool enough that most of the snow stayed around. Good day for making snowballs and snowmen. Good sledding, too, because there was a sort of crispy shell on top.

Can you believe she cleared the whole street?! #prouddad

After that much work, it’s no wonder she had to sit down.

Stopping to admire the frozen pond

She repeatedly sang “Do You Wanna Build a Snowman” until we were done. #IHateFrozen

Needed the LSU scarf for a final touch

Margaux has asked that when the temp gets high enough to melt our snowman, that she be allowed to bury it and put a marker that says “rest in peace.” [Update: snowman’s nose fell off today (Tuesday 3/3) and she put in the flower bed in case a rabbit wanted it. Reuse, renew, recycle. I’ll make barbeque with snowman’s eyes.]
