Once there was a Snowman

Despite popular opinion, Colorado is not a very snowy place. We haven't even had enough to build a decent snowman in months. So, with the mere 2 inches we got this week, Eleanor was determined to build a snowman. When the snow just wouldn't stick together, we came up with this solution. Call it Flat Stanley the Snowman.

And, being Colorado, where the weather changes on a dime, this is what Flat Stanley the Snowman looked like the next day. Sorry kid, but it's a good thing we sent your old snowpants to your cousin in Virginia!
