Roy starting his big project.
It was a little too big for the kids to help.
The finished product. This was around 11am.
By noon it was melting and starting to lean.
This is what it looked like when we got home from church at 4 that afternoon. So Roy had the kids try to push him over. It took awhile for them to find the right spot. Take a good look in the video at 40 seconds. Rae steps back and goes forward with her shoulders like they always do in cartoons - it's so cute!
The next day the bottom of the snowman was the only sign of snow.In other news, we decided Blaise desperately needed a haircut. It looked fine when it was smoothed down, but most of the time his hair was ridiculously messy. So we finally broke down and bought a hair buzzer thingy. (We had one before but it was a really cheap one that didn't work very well) We were going to try to give him a decent haircut, but he does not handle haircuts very well, so we just buzzed it all around.
Before.
After. It took me a while to get used to it, but I think he looks good both ways. I miss his long, beautiful hair, but this is definitely much easier!And in other news, Rae had her first soccer game today! It was cold and windy and Rae was not in the mood to play. She and her friend were very distracted and pretty silly at the beginning of the game. By the end of the game Rae was just grumpy and refused to play. She kicked the ball one time - the rest of the time she just let it go right past her. She never ran towards the ball or anything. Hopefully she'll be more entergentic and enthusiastic when it's warmer. Or maybe I'll have to sign her up for dance classes or science classes or something. She said she likes practices better, probably because she gets a chance to have her own ball to kick around! Hopefully it'll get warmer and the next game in two weeks will be more enjoyable.
Goofing around.
The first time the ball came towards them.
"What am I supposed to do??"
Well, at least she turned towards the ball.
"I'm done!"

She sounds like a lot of kids in soccer that age - when Chad was a coach, a lot of times by the end of the game he had three or four kids who just didn't want to play anymore.
Boy hair is a pain to keep looking nice when it is longer. I would love to have my boys actually have styles, but buzzing it is so much easier, and they are handsome enough that works out - just like Blaise.
Oh, and the snowman is/was awesome!
I so wanted to see Rae try to climb up on top of the snow in that dress!
Holy Cow, Blaise looks like a 5-year-old in that top picture! I've never seen his hair long, but that's probably because I never check your blog!
