Mr. Snowman







Saturday was beautiful (for a winter in Iowa) so Logan go to spend sometime outside, and built his very 1st snowman, which he named, Mr. Snowman. He was quite upset that we didn't have a carrot for his nose, but I managed to talk him into subsituting with a hotdog. His snowman was completed with a straw hat, a Thomas the Train scarf, a gravel smile, and 3D glasses left over from seeing My Bloody Valentine. He looked fantastic, and Logan was soooo proud of him!

Yesterday when we got home from a Super Bowl party we noticed Mr. Snowman had been knocked over. After putting Logan to bed Steve & I went outside to pick up the pieces, and we discovered that Mr. Snowman was killed intentionally. There were two sets of footprints leading from the street directly to Mr. Snowman. serisouly, who goes into someone else's yard to wreck a snowman that obvisouly belongded to a CHILD?! steve is completely furious and wants to build a new snowman and then set up a trail camera to capture a picture of any future snowman attackers. i think we'll just tell Logan the wind blew it over and build him closer to the house, hopefully the attacker won't be brave enough to get closer to our house.

Finally, logan tried to add a 3rd stick to his snowman, besides the two sticks for arms. The picture should explain more...
