Venturing back out...

The deep freeze is finally over- for now.  If my math is correct, yesterday when Theo and I were out playing in the snow it was a full 65 degrees warmer than one week earlier.  65 degrees!  And it was still only 40.  But we took the opportunity to get out.  I wanted to ski but was worried that it would be too slushy, so we opted for snow sculpturing with some good pals.  At first it felt a little like legos to me.  All those legos and no idea what to make.  But then someone had the idea to use a tree as antlers and to make a deer head at the base.  It was a lot of work to get enough snow up next to the tree.  And then we ended up with something that looked a lot more like Donkey from Shrek than anything in the deer family.  The boys spent far more time rolling around on the ground and throwing snow at each other than working on our sculpture, but good times were definitely had by all.
