Frosty the Snowman

I suddenly wake up from my sleep. The air is numb but the sun has already risen. I frantically look at my clock and a thousand questions run through my head. How could I have overslept? Why didn’t mom or dad wake me up? Am I dreaming? As I glance out my window to see if my parent’s cars are still there I am overwhelmed by an unexpected surprise. A sheet of six inch snow glistens in the sunlight. Now my questions are answered; it’s a snow day! I run down the stairs but even before I get to the bottom I already smell the fresh baked cinnamon rolls that my mom makes every snow day. I immediately get hungry but it doesn’t matter because my mom already has one sitting on the plate waiting for me. The white sugary frosting streaming down the sides reminds me why my mom only makes these occasionally. These are probably six hundred calories alone and this is my first meal. Once I scarf it down, I quickly call up one of my best friends, Haley. When she picks up the phone she tells me that she already has her snow gear on and is heading over. It’s a snow day and I am already behind schedule!

                 

Since my sister claimed she was “too old” to go out and play in the snow, my dad, brother, Haley, Haley’s dad and I all go out without her. We first start out making simple snow angels; little did we know that we were going to end up being the creators of a giant snowman. While my brother is making snowballs and writing his name in the snow, Haley and I decide we want to make the snowman. The dads begin to make the bottom since Haley and I were still too small and weak. The bottom came together very quickly, but it was much larger then the usual bottom of a snowman. Because of the massive size of the first snowball, the middle of the snowman needed to be about the size of a normal bottom. As we try to put the middle snowball on top of the bottom part we come across a problem. The middle was way too heavy for us to pick up. Thankfully, our neighbor was out shoveling his driveway so he came over to help. He brought along a plank of wood so that we could roll the middle up the ramp. After a couple of tries, they finally got it up. Now all that was left was the head, which didn’t take that long because it was so much smaller. Once my mom sees what we have done she immediately runs out with the Snowman Decoration Kit. This kit includes the corncob pipe, the button nose, and two eyes made out of coal. While Haley and I decorate him we add our own touches of style. I add two rakes for his arms and Haley takes off her scarf and puts it around his neck. All of us step back and, after a moment of thought and a couple pictures, we realize that we will never have a better snow day then this!
