Gee, I wonder where you got all the snow for that? It's not like there was a big snowstorm or anything recently. :p

Theres plenty of snow still on the ground in Minnesota where I am living at currently. Yesterday the snow finally turned into "sticky" snow. It took me a while to make the snowman too. I used something that resembled a bucket...packed the snow in hard and then it dumped it out and piled it high. I pretty much had to carve and sculpt the snowman with a spoon. One of the last things I did was give my snowman cheeks (the cheeks helped hold a bent twig *creating the snowman smile* and someone already said that it gives it a Pillsbury Dough Boy Look.)

I wasn't able to make the snowman the other way that most people make their snowmen -- by rolling a small snowball and seeing it get bigger and bigger. I tried that and it just kept falling apart. I think the snow was still too powdery or slushy.

I'll have to take more pictures...like of the fish-houses like you see in the movie Grumpy Old Men *lol* or other types of pictures of Christmas-type things that I happen to see.
