Making a new friend

Temperatures again hovering just above 0C, which is perfect packing snow. R and C had a few "negotiations" around the building of a snowman in the back yard, but in the end he was a handsome fellow and no blood was shed.

They are due back at school tomorrow after a two week break. There is some chance that the weather (which includes freezing rain, snow and wind) could cancel snow. R is crossing fingers for a snow day. I am NOT.
