Thank you for the snowman. Can you make one for my little sister too?

Ah, Sammy, you see, has to be shared by both sisters until the next big snowfall. Let's call him Lucy and Apolline's big snow brother! It was very hard to make Sammy. Poor B.Beaucoup did the heavy work- he cut out large squares of snow and heaved the huge blocks on top of one another to make Sammy. And I carved his shape with a gardening trowel. The snow barely stays together. It wants to crumble into powder. If you poke Sammy, parts of his body might crumble away (like Snow Bear's did when the little boy in the story shook his paws) so we had to shape him very carefully. As soon as we get wet snow that rolls into balls, Sammy can have an entire family outside with him!

I feel less guilty about making you paint my house, which was far easier.
