Yet more photos
Mar. 13th, 2013 09:12 pmHere's the finished snowman:

I like to give my snowmen some animalistic features. I was aiming for a rabbit when my Mom got a little too involved and put the ears wrong. The result is something my sister qualifies of 'freaky mutant rabbit... or something'. XD
Though I don't think Loic minded, nor did his sister (we built it in front of the 'French window' [seriously? that's the translation for 'une porte-fenêtre?'] her playpen rest against, so she could see it).

Note that the kid went to take back his shovel, but did say 'hello', 'goodbye' and shook the 'hand' of the snowman. Okay, we prompted him to do so, but still...
And yeah, I had some additional fun building a second, smaller snowman...

What can I say? I'm fond of snowmen, especially after reading 'Calvin and Hobbes'. That's what got me started on making them stand out. I mean, I tried to make a snow-Goomba from Mario, once (don't know where I put the photos, though...). And with the slide here, it was just too much an opportunity to waste it.

And there's still plenty enough snow to make a couple more tomorrow ;)
Unless we decide to try out the sled, of course :)
