12DK #7 Snowking Fun

Greetings, snowmen makers! (Well, we hope you are snowmen makers.)

While most people are now making snowmen, we are actually busy working on our first snowkings of the season. We prefer a more dignified snowy statue then a carrot-nosed, raisin-mouthed, and buttoned-eyed personage. We gave our snowking the typical body made out of three balls of snow in increasing (or decreasing, depending how you look at it) size because we thought that if we didn't, nobody would recognize what it was. We took a piece of chocolate and snapped it in two for his eyes, and raisins acorns made his smile. Then we gave him a larger carrot for his nose. Daniel (or King Edward XII) very kingly donated his scarf and not-so-kingly complained about his non-carrot nose being cold for the rest of the afternoon. Then we gave him (not Daniel; the snowking) two twigs as arms and topped it off with a crown made out of snow, with little snowballs as embellishments.

And then Adrien came running around the corner because Ashley and Cayla were chasing him because he had run over their snowman by accident, and he ran right into our snow king, so we chased him too.

Now we are going to retreat our snow king out of clay. A more sturdy version, we hope. (We also hope that Moo-Moo will not knock it off the shelf; sometimes she gets excited and---blind.)

Yours sincerely and hoping you will also make something cool today,

The illustration is kingarious and will be added tomorrow--but Hoo-Hoo has stolen our copy of the drawing and we will look for it in the morning because we already stayed up late enough settling a court case over whether a certain tuque was red or green...an important kingly duty. Thank you for understanding. (Well, we hope you understood, at any rate.)

Update: It has been added.
