Once There Was A Snowman, Snowman, Snowman!

Daci has been SOO into snowmen this year.  She wakes up every morning and asks if there is snow so she can build a snowman with daddy.  Since there hasn't been any snow (don't I live in Chicago?!), we decided to build our own indoor snowmen. I saw these on pinterest and fell in love!  Carly and I have been trying to do a craft a week with the girls and thought these were just perfect. We followed the tutorial on this site, but tweaked a few things to make them our own.  If you can't tell from the pictures below....the girls loved this craft!  I think Carly and I may have liked it even more :)  I mean c'mon, look how adorable they are!

Filling the socks with beans (I didn't have enough rice).  Don't mind that Daci doesn't have any pants on, it was an accomplishment getting at shirt on her :)

 Then, I kinda forgot to take pics of the middle steps.  Whoops :)

So proud

Aren't they cute!?

I'll take a set of 3 in graduating sizes, please...a daddy, mommy and baby snowman. Tell Daci to get busy. Seriously, these are darling. I wish I could have come and made them with you guys. BTW, next time put some pants on my granddaughter!

Stealing this idea after our first big snow! LOVE it! And Ty seriously would run around in his underwear all day if I would let him...I can usually get a shirt but pants are a no go when we are at home! Oh the life of a 2 1/2 year old! Haha!
