Tadhg's first snowman!

Temperatures stayed sub-zero and the snow started coming down over the last week. Everyone had to wrap up warm before going out and Tadhg's walk to school each morning turned treacherous with the risk of slipping on ice or having some ice blocks fall on your head!

On Saturday morning, Tadhg and dad wrapped up well and wandered down to the garden to play in the snow. Tadhg wanted to make a snowman so Tadhg and dad tried to gather the newly fallen snow together into some semblance of a snowman.

They managed to create a vaguely human shape from the flaky snow but the face didn't turn out so well. Tadhg called it "mean snowman". They had another go and made a "happy snowman" which looked a bit more respectable. By this time both Tadhg and dad were starting to freeze so they went upstairs to have a warm lunch with mom.
