What do Snowmen call their offspring?

Chill-dren.

Interesting Fact: Documentation of the first snowman is unclear. However, Bob Eckstein, author of The History of the Snowman documented snowmen from medieval times, by researching artistic depictions in European museums, art galleries, and libraries. The earliest documentation he found was a marginal illustration from a work titled Book of Hours from 1380, found in Koninklijke Bibliotheek, in The Hague.

    I’m jealous! The setting with its inhabitants beckoning seem to have bypassed my region so far. I need the full maturity of each season and all the wonderful forms of water and ice.

    Love the photo of the snowmen or snowwomen. Interesting info about the origins. Did your children make those?
