Childhood Memories: The Mr Men show!

Ah yes, childhood TV memories. I miss all those old TV shows that aired in the 90s and before.

One inparticular strikes me though. I remember when I was young I LOVED the "Mr. Men" books. they had the "Mr. Men" books at school all the time. My favorite Mr. men character has always been Mr. Forgetful. 

I visited my grandpa and grandpa in Canada once when I was 9 and one morening I woke up I found out they had a "Mr. men" show on TV there. I had never heard of the TV show. I fell in love with it quickly.

I just wanted to share one of the episodes with you. I wish they still made stuff like this now.  heart

Snow and Ice

so yesterday was pretty fun! My sister, my 2 nieces and a few of our neighbors played out in the snow. There was a LOT of snow outside yesterday.

Our first snow man failed and end up as a snow throne. I'm pretty good at making sow men but I wasn't helping because I was busy taking pictures. I finally put down my camera after a while and started rolling the bottom of what would become my snow man. My sister and a neighbor started rolling theirs as well. My sisters was supposed to be the second part of my snow man but it got to big so we just decided to make it into a second snow man. My brother had come out by then and started rolling his to help us make our snow men. The neighbor boy that was rolling his accidentally made another one that was too big so then we had 3 snow man but then my brother also did one that was too big so then we has FOUR SNOW MEN! My brother managed to get one of the big balls up on top of the other one so then we had 3 snow men again. after that things became pretty easy and we made the bodies and everything used tree branches from my birch tree as arms. I didn't feel like rolling another ball at this pint so I just packed snow on top of the second ball and made a head that way I think the others did the same.

We were all pretty wet and cold when we finished. The others used leaves for eyes and mouths and carrots of course for noses. I pocked holes for eyes and stuff leaves inside the holes to make them dark I used a little bent tree twig for a mouth on mine. mine was the only one that was smiling. 

It was pretty bun but SO cold and wet. My pants kept on wanting to fall down from the weight. it was pretty funny to say the least. 

I'll put some pictures up later for you to see.
