I was excited about the snow too. Whoo hoo.

My son and daughter made (in his words)

"A really big snowman. The biggest snowman we have ever made. oh mum it is so big, come and see...etc etc"

It was only about a foot high - but he was right in some ways - it was the biggest snowman he has ever built.

What occurs to me (in all seriousness and not male bashing at all) is that boys never really get over the ability to exaggerate about size - do they?

ps - The above story was true btw. He said it yesterday morning.
