Snow Day

While I did not get the entire day off work yesterday due to the snowstorm, I did get to leave early. As I walked to my car, I picked up a clump of snow to see if it was snowball- or snowman-worthy. It was -- the snow was very wet and dense.

So when I arrived home, I decided to make a miniature snowman army take over the front steps of my apartment building.

It was entirely too much fun. Click on the "Snow" album to see the army.

My apartment door is only a short distance away from the front steps, so it was hysterical to hear what people said as they passed the army of tiny snowmen.

"What the...? What is this crap?"

"Oh, that's so cute."

"Mom, can I smash them?"

They did not last through the night. No, the warm temperatures were too much for the tiny snowman army. This morning all that remained was one little patch of slush and a pile of twigs.
