Lydia's obsession on Day 2 after the snow arrival was to make a snowman. So, I promptly sent her outside with Daddy to accomplish that task. Marcus and I stayed contently indoors and observed. When they were finished, Lydia had the responsibility of naming the creation. That is when Mr. Snowmanner smiled and took up residence in our backyard.
Lydia has been quite concerned that he will melt (a 24-hour snowman lifespan was quite common in Prague). This year I can confidently tell her he will likely be around for a while. Although I am beginning to fear the leading cause of snowman death in Wisconsin is NOT warm temperatures, but gale-force winds.
Good news: this morning is Mr. Snowmanner's 2nd day of life and he's still standing tall and strong.
