Because of the warmer weather we had at the beginning of the year it didn't take long for the snow to melt. The boys had made a giant snowball in the back yard and it was their mission to take it down.
When Thomas came home from school they ran to the back yard and got to work destroying the snowball. At first they were gentle and used the little rakes and shovels and let the little shavings of snow hit the ground.
After a while that was taking too long and they were determined to take the snowball down. They had the thought that since Christmas was over it was time for winter to be over as well. And if they were able to get rid of all the snow winter and the cold would be gone and spring would come. Trying to explain that winter would still be here a while didn't seem to click in. So at the end they were jumping on it and more rough with it, poor snowball didn't stand a chance with these two ;)
The real question is - did it work? Did spring come any sooner? I am totally done with winter and hope Spring is just around the corner too!
