SNOWMAN GUILT

You know what? It's a big responsibility. A snowman, that is. You create this snow friend, an addition to your garden, you and your family admire it/him/her from the warmth of your home. You sit indoors looking out at your creation. You smile at how handsome your friend is but then you wonder... you think of The Snowman. Wondering. Then comes the guilt. Yes, guilt. I mean, I'm looking out at our friend Trevor. His eyes have fallen out. He's a blind snowman, all cold with a carrot for a nose {no eyes, no hat, no mouth} and wondering Did we do the right thing in making you Trevor? You're going to live out there, looking in at us, us looking out at you and then what? You'll melt. Melt! 

Alex did point out that the best place for him is in his natural habitat. Yes, I can see that this is true.

Trevor could do with a companion to be cold and miserable with. You know the old saying 'an only snowman is a lonely snowman'.No? Me neither. 

TREVOR

Snow is all around us. The village looks beautiful with its Christmas tree and festive lights. Really Gorgeous. Our lovely garden looks so dreamy, a real Winter Wonderland. My very favourite way to enjoy the snow is from indoors. Yes, in the warmth, gazing out of the window. Feeling incredibly blessed with my lot in life today. This view. Yes, this one.  

 



So, Joseph and I ventured out to the garden today. We had a lot of fun out there. I surprised myself with that what with me being an indoors kinda gal. Getting myself and my two year old dressed to brave the elements wasn't top of my to do list today. I'd hoped he'd want to build Duplo, read stories or dare I say even watch CBeebies while Carys had her nap. Yesterday when I took them both outdoors, they couldn't get back in fast enough! So this morning when a little voice announced 'I want go outside in my snow boots 'gain' I put on the best happy voice I could muster and said 'oh that's a great idea... shall we build a snowman?' Yes, he did. So, we got bundled up and out we went.

And look what happened... we built a rather dashing snowman.

His name is Trevor.

So proud!

Thankfully the snow continued to fall and Trevor looks like he's had a good three course dinner... all plumped up and looking much smoother. I think a nice hat would set him off.
