Snow Women (by sarah)
More snow and so bored of building snowmen from our sojourn in Highgate me and Jean decided to build a snow woman! But first some pics of the buildings:
To get the snow for the snow-woman and for saftys sake Dad and Jean set about clearing the steps up to the lawn.
You can tell they worked really hard! We filled one of our fermentation buckets with snow - Jean had a plastic mixing bowl to put her snow in though she mantianed it was a wiggly pets bath - poor things!
We pack the snow down in the bucket and used it as a sort of mould for the body - we did this twice and stacked them on top of each other - I then proceeded to make it safe before Jean was allowed near it!
Ok well it wasn't actually very good as its nose kept coming off and half the face came away at one point leaving it rather flate headed! I found that after a while my gloves became wet and kept sticking to the snow I was trying to sculpt.
Jean liked it though and we thought we'd make a whole clan of snowmen! Once that was finished we went inside for hot chocolate and then Jean went hunting Wiggly Pets - we had seen their tracks in the snow earlier on!
Poor Mini got herself stuck in the Stable as she refused to walk on the snow - she just kept mewing pathetically but was in a position where I couldn't actually pick her up to bring her in - I had turffed her last night and it snowed whilst we slept so she was very conserned. Finially she felt like braving the wet white stuff.
Jean got a bit over tired with the days exertions and fell asleep before I'd even gotten her snow boots off of her!
